An ice skater of mass m = 60 kg coasts at a speed of v = 0.8 m/s past a pole. At the distance of closest approach, her center of mass is r1 = 0.45 m from the pole. At that point she grabs hold of the pole.

a. What is the skater's angular speed when she first grabs the pole? rad/s
b. What Is the skater's angular speed after she now pulls her center of mass to a distance of r_2 = 0.46 m from the pole? rad/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.78 rad/s

1.70344 rad/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 0.8 m/s

m = Mass of person = 60 kg

[tex]r_1[/tex] = Distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.45 m

[tex]r_2[/tex] = New distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.46 m

I = Moment of inertia

Angular speed is given by

[tex]\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=1.78\ rad/s[/tex]

The angular speed is 1.78 rad/s

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

[tex]L_1=L_2\\\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow mr_1^2\omega_1=mr_2^2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{r_1^2\omega_1}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.70344\ rad/s[/tex]

The new angular speed is 1.70344 rad/s

The skater's angular speed when she first grabs the pole and after is mathematically given as

  • w1=1.78 rad/s
  • w2=1.70344 rad/s

What is the skater's angular speed when she first grabs the pole and after she now pulls her center of mass to a distance of r_2 = 0.46 m from the pole?

Question Parameter(s):

An ice skater of mass m = 60 kg coasts at a speed of v = 0.8 m/s past a pole.

her center of mass is r1 = 0.45 m from the pole.

Generally, the equation for the Angular speed  is mathematically given as

[tex]\omega_1=\frac{v}{r_1}\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}[/tex]

w1=1.78 rad/s

b) In conclusion,  after she now pulls her center of mass to a distance of r_2 = 0.46 m from the pole

[tex]\omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}[/tex]

w2=1.70344ra d/s
