A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.2 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and he holds a brick in each had. The rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man, bricks, and platform about the central vertical axis of the platform is 6.0 kgm2. If by moving the bricks the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to 2.0 kgm2, what are (a) the resulting angular speed of the platform and (b) the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy?

Answer:

A. ω₂ = 3.6rev/s

B. K₂ / K₁ = 3

Explanation:

Data;

ω₁ = 1.2rev/s

I₁ = 6.0kgm²

ω₂ = ?

I₂ = 2.0kgm²

for conservation of angular momentum,

Initial angular momentum = final angular momentum

L₁ = L₂

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

solving for ω₂,

ω₂ = (I₁ * ω₁) / I₂

ω₂ = (6.0 * 1.2) / 2.0

ω₂ = 3.6rev/s

the resulting angular speed of the platform is 3.6rev/s.

b. the ratio of the new kinetic energy to the system kinetic energy

let the new kinetic energy = K₂

original kinetic energy = K₁

Kinetic energy of a rotational body = ½*Iω²

K₂ / K₁ = ½ I₁ω₁² = ½I₂ω²

K₂ / K₁ = I₁ω₁² / I₂ω₂²

K₂ / K₁ = (2.0 * 3.6²) / (6.0 * 1.2²)

K₂ / K₁ = 25.92 / 8.64

K₂ / K₁ = 3

The ratio of the new kinetic energy to the old kinetic energy is 3.

(a) The resulting angular speed of the platform will be 3.6rev/s

b) The ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy will be 3.

What is the law of conservation of momentum?

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

ω₁ is the angular speed of man= 1.2rev/s

I₁ is the rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man = 6.0kgm²

ω₂  is the angular speed of brick=?

I₂ = 2.0kgm²

(a) The resulting angular speed of the platform will be 3.6rev/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

Momentum before collision =Momentum after collision

L₁ = L₂

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

The resulting angular speed of the platform is found as;

[tex]\omega_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1 }{i_2} \\\\ \omega_2 = \frac{6.0 \times 1.2 }{2.0} \\\\ \omega_2 = \ 3.6 \ rev/sec[/tex]

Hence the resulting angular speed of the platform is 3.6rev/s.

b) The ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy will be 3.

R is the ratio of the new kinetic energy to the system kinetic energy

K₂ is the new kinetic energy and K₁ is the original kinetic energy,

The kinetic energy of a rotational body is given as;

[tex]E_K= \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2[/tex]

The ratio is found as;

[tex]\rm R= \frac{K_2}{K_1} \\\\ \rm R= \frac{ \frac{1}{2} I_1\omega_1^2}{ \frac{1}{2} I_2\omega_2^2} \\\\ \rm R= \frac{ \frac{1}{2}\times 2.0 \times (3.6)^2}{ \frac{1}{2} \times 6.0 \times (1.2)^2} \\\\ \rm R=\frac{252.92}{\8.64} \\\\ \rm R= 3[/tex]

Hence the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy will be 3.
