A cylinder with rotational inertia I l = 2.0 kg . m2 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis through its center withangular speed ml = 5.0 rad] S. = 5.0 rad/s. A second cylinderwith rotational inertia [2 = 1.0 kg . m2rotates counter clockwise about the same axis with angular speed m2 = 8,0 rad/s , If the cylinders couple so theyhave the same rotational axis what is the angular speed of the combination? What percentage of the original kineticenergy is lost to friction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]W_s = 0.67 rad/s[/tex]

it is lost the 98.82% of the energy.  

Explanation:

for answer this, we will use the conservation of the angular momentum L:

[tex]L_f = L_i[/tex]

so:

[tex]I_1W_1 + I_2W_2 = I_sW_s[/tex]

where [tex]I_1[/tex] is the moment of inertia, [tex]W_1[/tex] is the angular velocity of the cylinder 1, [tex]I_2[/tex] is the moment of inertia of the second cylinder, [tex]W_2[/tex] is the angular velocity of the second cylinder, [tex]I_s[/tex] is the moment of inertia of the cylinders couple and [tex]W_s[/tex] is the angular velocity of the cylinders couple

note: we will take the clockwise rotation as positive.

Replacing the values, we get:

[tex](2 kg*m^2)(5 rad/s) + (1 kg*m^2)(-8 rad/s) = (3 kg*m^2)W_s[/tex]

solving for [tex]W_s[/tex]:

[tex]W_s = 0.67 rad/s[/tex]

for find the kinetic energy lost we must calculate the initial Ei and the final energy Ef as:

[tex]E_i = \frac{1}{2}I_1W_1^2+\frac{1}{2}I_2W_2^2[/tex]

[tex]E_i = \frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1)(8)^2[/tex]

[tex]E_i = 57 J[/tex]

and,

[tex]E_f = \frac{1}{2}I_sW_s^2[/tex]

[tex]E_f = \frac{1}{2}(3)(0.67)^2[/tex]

[tex]E_f = 0.67335 J[/tex]

now, the percentage of the original kinetic energy that is lost to friction is calculated as:

[tex]\frac{E_i-E_f}{E_i}=\frac{57-0.67335}{57}[/tex] = 0.9882 = 98.82%

that means that was lost the 98.82% of the energy.
