- CHECK and THINK Our results give us a way to think about how a person might steer a unicycle. Consider the person, the unicycle, and the Earth as the system. No net torque acts on the system. Ignoring the motion of the Earth, Figure 13.37A shows the initial angular momentum of the system with the unicycle in motion: Li=Ltire. The person leans to his left so that the angular momentum of the tire rotates downward. The total angular momentum must still point to the right (Fig. 13.37B), so the angular momentum of the person must be upward to compensate. The persons angular velocity therefore points upward (parallel to his own angular momentum), and he is able to make a turn. Another way to analyze this situation is to exclude the Earth from the system and calculate the torque done by gravity. This approach is left as a homework problem. FIGURE 13.37 C Reanalyze the unicycles motion in Example 13.15 (page 382). This time, leave the Earth out of the system and explain how the torque exerted by gravity causes the unicycle to turn. Your explanation should involve a diagram.arrow_forwardConsider the 12.0 kg motorcycle wheel shown in Figure 10.38. Assume it to be approximately an annular ring with an inner radius of 0.280 m and an outer radius of 0.330 m. The motorcycle is on its center stand, so that the wheel can spin freely. (a) If the drive chain exerts a force of 2200 N at a radius of 5.00 cm, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? (b) What is the tangential acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the tire? (c) How long, starting from rest, does it take to reach an angular velocity of 80.0 rad/s?

Which of the following statements is not true concerning this object? (a) If the angular speed is constant, the object must have constant tangential speed. (b) If the angular speed is constant, the object is not accelerated. (c) The object has a tangential acceleration only if the disk has an angular acceleration. (d) If the disk has an angular acceleration, the object has both a centripetal acceleration and a tangential acceleration. (e) The object always has a centripetal acceleration except when the angular speed is zero.arrow_forwardThe Earth has more rotational kinetic energy now than did the cloud of gas and dust from which it formed. Where did this energy come from?

The ponies simultaneously start walking toward each other across the turntable, (i) As they walk, what happens to the angular speed of the turntable? (a) It increases, (b) h decreases, (c) It stays constant. (Consider the ponies-turntable system in this process and answer yes or no for the following questions. (ii) Is the mechanical energy of the system conserved? (iii) Is the momentum of the system conserved? (iv) Is the angular momentum of the system conserved?arrow_forwardSuppose a child gets off a rotating merry-go-round, Does the angular velocity of the merry-go-round increase, decrease, or remain the same if: (a) He jumps off radially?
