A 65.0-kg woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of 480 kg · m2 and a radius of 2.00 m. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s relative to the Earth.

The angular velocity and work done is required.

The angular velocity of the turntable is 0.40625 rad/s counter clockwise.

The work done is 112.73 J.

A 65.0-kg woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of 480 kg · m2 and a radius of 2.00 m. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s relative to the Earth.

(a) In what direction and with what angular speed does the turntable rotate?

(b) How much work does the woman do to set herself and the turntable into motion?

The answers are

(a) 0.40625 rad/s ccw

(b) 112.73 J

Explanation:

To solve the question we have

Mass of woman = 65.  kg

Moment of inertia of the turntable = 480 kg·m²

Radius of turntable = 2.00 m

Speed of woman =  -1.50 m/s, clockwise motion

Sum of anguar momentum = constant

Therefore Inital total angular momentum = Finat toatal momentum

M₁ₐ, M₁ₓ = initial and final momentum of turn table and M₂ₐ, M₂ₓ for the woman

Therefore

M₁ₐ + M₂ₐ = M₁ₓ + M₂ₓ

Since the momentum = Inertia, I multiplied by angular velocity, ω, we have

I₁×ω₁ = -I₂×ω₂ and

ω₁ = -I₂×ω₂÷I₁

Which gives m·r²×v/r÷I₁ where ω = v/r and I = m·r²

=-m·r·v÷l₁, Substituting the values for the mass, radius, the speed and the moment of inertia of the turntable gives

=- 65×2×-1.5÷480 = 0.40625 rad/s ccw

The work done can be found from

Total work = change in kinetic ennergy

= Initial Kinetic energy of the system less final kinetic energy of the system

= Kinetic energy of the woman + Kinetic energy of the turntable - 0

1/2×I₁×ω₁² + 1/2×m×v₂²

= 1/2×480 kg·m²×(0.40625 rad/s)² +1/2×65 kg×(-1.5 m/s) ²

= 112.734375 kg·m/s ≈ 112.73 J

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
