A massless spring with constant k is mounted on a turntable of rotational inertia I, as shown in Fig. 11.19. The turntable is on a frictionless vertical axle, though initially it’s not rotating. The spring is compressed a distance Δx from its equilibrium, with a mass m placed against it. When the spring is released, the mass moves at right angles to a line through the turntable’s center, at a distance b from the center, and slides without friction across the table and off the edge. Find expressions for (a) the linear speed of the mass and (b) the rotational speed of the turntable. (Hint: What’s conserved?)

- A uniform solid sphere having mass M = 85.0 g and a radius R = 0.70 m rolls on a horizontal surface and then rolls up an incline at an angle of 60.0º. At the bottom of the incline, the sphere's center of mass has a translational speed of 5.8 m/s. If the frictional losses are negligible, how far does the sphere travel up along the incline?arrow_forwardA uniform solid sphere having mass M = 85.0 g and a radius R = 0.70 m rolls on a horizontal surface and then rolls up an incline at an angle of 60.0º.
