A man stands on a rotating platform, with his arms stretched horizontally holding a 5 kg weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is 30 revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from 90cm to 20cm. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to 7.6 kg `m^2`. (a) What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.) (b) Is kinetic energy conserved in the process? If not, from where does
(a) Why is moment of inertia called rotational inertia? (b) Calculate M.I of a uniform circular disc of mass 500gm and radius 10cm about (i) Diameter (ii) axis tangent to the disc and parallel to diameter (c) Axis passing trough centre and perpendicular to its
A bullet of mass 10 g and speed 500 m/s is fired into a door and gets embedded exactly at the centre of the door. The door is 1.0 m wide and weighs 12 kg. It is hinged at one end and rotates about a vertical axis practically without friction. Find the angular speed of the door just after the bullet embeds into it. (Hint: The moment of inertia of the door about the vertical axis at one end is
The oxygen molecule has a mass of `5.30 × 10^(-26)` kg and a moment of inertia of `1.94×10^(-46)` kg `m^2` about an axis through its centre perpendicular to the lines joining the two atoms. Suppose the mean speed of such a molecule in a gas is 500 m/s and that its kinetic energy of rotation is two thirds of its kinetic energy of translation. Find the average angular velocity of the
A flywheel of moment of inertia `0.4 kg-m^2` and radius `0.2 m` is free to rotate about a central axis. If a string is wrapped around it and it is pulled with a force of 10N, then its angular velocity after `4s` will
