A small block on a frictionless horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached to a massless cord passing through a hole in the surface. (See Figure 10.53.) The block is originally revolving at a distance of 0.300 m from the hole with an angular speed of 1.75 rad/s. The cord is then pulled from below, shortening the radius of the circle in which the block revolves to 0.150 m. You may treat the block as a particle. (a) Is

- A 12.0-kg solid sphere of radius 1.50 m is being rotated by applying a constant tangential force of 10.0 N at a perpendicular distance of 1.50 m from the rotation axis through the center of the sphere. If the sphere is initially at rest, how many revolutions must the sphere go through while this force is applied before it reaches an angular speed of 30.0 rad/s?arrow_forwardA space station is coast me ted in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 5.00 104 kg. Members of the crew walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 100 m. At rest when constructed, the ring is set rotating about its axis so that the people inside experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. (Sec Fig. P11.29.) The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring, (a) What angular momentum does the space station acquirer (b) For what time interval must the rockets be fired if each exerts a thrust of 125 N?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.arrow_forward
- Why is the following situation impossible? Starting from rest, a disk rotates around a fixed axis through an angle of 50.0 rad in a time interval of 10.0 s. The angular acceleration of the disk is constant during the entire motion, and its final angular speed is 8.00 rad/s.arrow_forwardCalculate the rotational kinetic energy of a 12-kg motorcycle wheel if its angular velocity is 120 rad/s and its inner radius is 0.280 m and outer radius 0.330 m.arrow_forwardA disk 8.00 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1200 rev/min about its central axis. Determine (a) its angular speed in radians per second, (b) the tangential speed at a point 3.00 cm from its center, (c) the radial acceleration of a point on the rim, and (d) the total distance a point on the rim moves in 2.00 s.arrow_forward
- A stationary bicycle is raised off the ground, and it's front-wheel (m= 2.83 kg) is rotating at an angular velocity of 16.5 rad/s ( see the figure). The front brake is then applied for 3.18s and the wheel slows down to 3.86 rad/s. Assume that all the masses of the wheel is concentrated in the rim, the radius of which is 0.330 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each brake and pad and the rim is Uk = 1.26. What is the magnitude of the normal force that each brake pad applies to the rim?arrow_forwardAn airplane propeller rotates with an angular speed of 312 rad/s through what angle does the propeller rotate in 4.3 seconds?

- A uniform solid sphere rolls along a horizontal frictionless surface at 15 m/s and makes a smooth transition onto a frictionless incline having an angle of 300. How far up the incline does the sphere roll when it comes to a momentary stop? Note for a sphere I= 2/5Mr2, where M is the mass of the sphere and r is the radius of the sphere.arrow_forwardThe diameters of the main rotor and tail rotor of a singleenginehelicopter are 7.60 m and 1.02 m, respectively. Therespective rotational speeds are 450 rev/min and 4 138 rev/min. Calculate the speeds of the tips of both rotors. Comparethese speeds with the speed of sound, 343 m/s.arrow_forwardAn object that rolls without slipping will have both translational and rotational kinetic energy. If it rolls down an incline, the gravitational potential, mgh (where h is the height of the incline at the top) is converted to both forms of kinetic energy: ?=1/2 ??2+1/2??2 where m is the mass of the object, v is its instantaneous velocity, I is the moment of inertia, and omega is the angular velocity. The relationship between the angular velocity and the tangential velocity is ?=?/? where R is the radius of the rolling object. Using Energy Conservation and the equations above, solve for an algebraic expression for the final velocity squared, in terms of gravitational acceleration g, height of the incline h, and moment of inertia I.arrow_forward
