A 2.1 kg , 20-cm-diameter turntable rotates at 70 rpm on frictionless bearings. Two 520 g blocks fall from above, hit the turntable simultaneously at opposite ends of a diameter, and stick. What is the turntable's angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

There is change in moment of inertia of turntable due to which its angular velocity changes . We shall apply law of conservation of angular momentum

initial moment of inertia = 1 / 2 M r² , M is mass and r is radius of table

I₁ = 1/2 x 2.1 x .10²

= .0105 kg m²

final moment of inertia

I₂ = I₁ + 2 x m r²  , m is mass of fallen blocks on the table

= .0105 + 2 x .52 x .1²

= .0105 + .0104

= .0209 kg m²

initial angular velocity ω₁ = 2π n , n is revolution per second

= 2π  x 70 / 60

= 2.3333 π rad /s

Final angular velocity ω₂ = ?

Applying law of conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂

.0105 x 2.3333 π =  .0209 x ω₂

ω₂ = 1.172  π

= .586 x 2 π rad / s

no of revolution per sec = .586

no of revolution per minute = .586  x 60

= 35.16 rpm .

The turntable's angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event is 35.14 rpm.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the turntable, M = 2.1 kg
  • diameter of the turn table, d = 20 cm
  • radius of the turn table, R = 10 cm
  • mass of each of the two blocks, m = 520 g = 0.52 kg
  • initial angular speed of the turn table, ω₁ = 70 rpm

The initial angular speed in rad/s is calculated as follows;

[tex]70 \ \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 7.331 \ rad/s[/tex]

The moment of inertia of the turntable is calculated as;

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2} MR^2\\\\I _1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.1 \times 0.1^2\\\\I_1 = 0.0105 \ kgm/s[/tex]

The momentum of inertia of the blocks is calculated as

[tex]I = MR^2 \\\\I_2 = 2MR^2\\\\I_2 = 2 \times 0.52 \times (0.1)^2 \\\\I_2 = 0.0104 \ kgm/s[/tex]

The turntable's angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event is calculated as follows;

[tex]I_i \omega _i = I_f \omega _f\\\\\omega _f = \frac{I_i \omega _i }{I_f} \\\\\omega _f = \frac{0.0105 \times 7.331}{0.0105 + 0.0104} \\\\\omega_f = 3.68 \ rad/s[/tex]

[tex]\omega _f = 3.68 \ rad/s \ \times \ \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \times \frac{60 \ s}{1 \min} = 35.14 \ rpm[/tex]

Thus, the turntable's angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event is 35.14 rpm.
