Question #75613

Description:

A uniform rod of mass M and length L is lying on a horizontal frictionless surface if a horizontal impulse I perpendicular to length of the road is applied at one end of the road the other end begins to move with speed V then find the magnitude of the impulse

Solution.

draw a diagram of the problem


rcr_c - radius vector of the center of mass, which is in the middle of the length of the rod, we design on the coordinate axis


rcx=L2cosα,rcy=L2sinα\mathrm {r} _ {\mathrm {c x}} = \frac {\mathrm {L}}{2} \cos \alpha , \quad \mathrm {r} _ {\mathrm {c y}} = \frac {\mathrm {L}}{2} \sin \alpha


find the velocity components as derived from the radius of the vector


drcxdt=vcx=L2sinαdαdt,drcydt=vcy=L2cosαdαdt\frac {\mathrm {d} \mathbf {r} _ {\mathrm {c x}}}{\mathrm {d t}} = \mathbf {v} _ {\mathrm {c x}} = - \frac {\mathrm {L}}{2} \sin \alpha \frac {\mathrm {d} \alpha}{\mathrm {d t}}, \frac {\mathrm {d} \mathbf {r} _ {\mathrm {c y}}}{\mathrm {d t}} = \mathbf {v} _ {\mathrm {c y}} = \frac {\mathrm {L}}{2} \cos \alpha \frac {\mathrm {d} \alpha}{\mathrm {d t}}


horizontally, the lower end moves at a speed v=const\mathbf{v} = \mathrm{const} , we get (1)


Lcosα=Lvt\mathrm {L} \cos \alpha = \mathrm {L} - \mathrm {v t}


find the derivative (2)


d(Lcosα)dx=Lsinαdαdt=v=2vcx(2),=>vcx=v2,=>sinα=vLdαdt\frac {\mathrm {d} (\mathrm {L} \cos \alpha)}{\mathrm {d} x} = - \mathrm {L} \sin \alpha \frac {\mathrm {d} \alpha}{\mathrm {d} t} = - v = 2 v _ {\mathrm {c x}} (2), = > v _ {\mathrm {c x}} = - \frac {v}{2}, = > \sin \alpha = \frac {v}{\mathrm {L} \frac {\mathrm {d} \alpha}{\mathrm {d} t}}


it is obvious that the vertical speed as an opposite to the horizontal speed


vcy=vcxcotαv _ {c y} = - v _ {c x} \cot \alpha


from equation (1) we find the cotangent


cotanα=cos2α1cos2α=(LvtL)21(LvtL)2=LvtL2L2+2Lvtv2t2=Lvt2Lvtv2t2c o t a n \alpha = \sqrt {\frac {c o s ^ {2} \alpha}{1 - c o s ^ {2} \alpha}} = \sqrt {\frac {(\frac {L - v t}{L}) ^ {2}}{1 - (\frac {L - v t}{L}) ^ {2}}} = \frac {L - v t}{\sqrt {L ^ {2} - L ^ {2} + 2 L v t - v ^ {2} t ^ {2}}} = \frac {L - v t}{\sqrt {2 L v t - v ^ {2} t ^ {2}}}vcy=vcxcotα=v2Lvt2Lvtv2t2v _ {c y} = v _ {c x} \cot \alpha = \frac {v}{2} \frac {L - v t}{\sqrt {2 L v t - v ^ {2} t ^ {2}}}


then the momentum of the rod is a vector with coordinates


Mvc=<vcx,vcy>=<Mv2,Mv2Lvt2Lvtv2t2>\overrightarrow{\mathrm{Mv}_c} = < v_{cx}, v_{cy} > = < -M\frac{v}{2}, M\frac{v}{2} \frac{L - vt}{\sqrt{2Lvt - v^2t^2}} >Mvc=Mvcx2+vcy2=MLv212Lvtv2t2\overrightarrow{|Mv_c|} = M \sqrt{v^2_{cx} + v^2_{cy}} = ML \frac{v}{2} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2Lvt - v^2t^2}}


Answer


Mvc=<vcx,vcy>=<Mv2,Mv2Lvt2Lvtv2t2>\overrightarrow{\mathrm{Mv}_c} = < v_{cx}, v_{cy} > = < -M\frac{v}{2}, M\frac{v}{2} \frac{L - vt}{\sqrt{2Lvt - v^2t^2}} >Mvc=vcx2+vcy2=MLv212Lvtv2t2\overrightarrow{|Mv_c|} = \sqrt{v^2_{cx} + v^2_{cy}} = ML \frac{v}{2} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2Lvt - v^2t^2}}
