Homework Statement
Given a cylinder is rolling purely and a man with mass m is attatched to a point in the circumference of the cylinder. As the man approaches the lowest point he jumps vertically up. Will the velocity of the cylinder increase, decrease or remain same after the man is detached and is in motion as stated above?Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
As the moment of inertia decreases over time wrt centre of mass of cylinder until man reaches highest position the cylinders velocity changes to conserve energy.
My problem is to explain it in normal terms and not any conservation of anything point of view. Also i am ot sure if my explanation is correct.
