A 40 kg boy is standing on the edge of a stationary 30-kg platform that is free to rotate without friction. The boy tries to walk around the platform in a counterclockwise direction. As he does:

a. the platform doesn't rotate.
b. the platform rotates in a clockwise direction just fast enough so that the boy remains stationary relative to the ground.
c. the platform rotates in a clockwise direction while the boy goes around in a counterclockwise direction relative to the ground.
d. both go around with equal angular velocities but in opposite directions

Respuesta :

Answer:

the correct one is C

Explanation:

To find the answer, let's propose the solution of the problem

We create a system formed by the child and the platform so that all the forces have been internal and the angular momentum is conserved.

Initial instant. Before starting to walk

          L₀ = 0

Final moment. After the child is walking

          L_f = I₁ w₁ + m r v₂

where index 1 is used for the platform and index 2 for the child

linear and angular velocity are related

          v₂ = w₂ r

           

angular momentum is conserved

          0 = I₁ w₁ + m r (w₂ r)

          w₁ =  [tex]- \frac{m r^2}{I1} \ w_2[/tex]

the moment of inertia of the platform bringing it closer to a disk or cylinder

         I₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] M r²  

sustitute

          w₁ = [tex]- \frac{2 m }{M} \ w_2[/tex]

          W₁ = - [tex]- \frac{2 40}{30} \ w_2 = - \frac{8}{3} \ w_2[/tex]

from here we can see that the platform and the child rotate in the opposite direction and with different angular speeds

when examining the answers the correct one is C

Answer:

  • Option C (the platform rotates in a clockwise direction while the boy goes around in a counterclockwise direction relative to the ground)

Explanation:

relative to the ground the boy moves in a counter clockwise motion , now the boy and the wheel are one system

so by conservation of angular momentum their net sum of angular momentum relative to a point outside the system(say ground) should be zero

so the wheel moves in a clockwise direction , their angular velocity may or may not be same depending on I. so option D is wrong

option B is wrong because relative to ground their angular momentum should be equal and opposite
