- Twin skaters approach one another as shown below and lock hands. (a) Calculate their final angular velocity given each had an initial speed of 2.50 m/s relative to the ice. Each has a mass of 70.0 kg and each has a center of mass located 0.800 m from their locked hands. You may approximate their moments of inertia to be that of point masses at this radius. (b) Compare the initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy.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? Figure 10.33 An immense cloud of rotating gas and dust contracted under the influence of gravity to form the Earth and in the process rotational kinetic energy Increased. (credit: NASA)arrow_forwardYour grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potters wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R = 0.500 m and mass M = 100 kg. In operation, the wheel rotates at 50.0 rev/min. While the wheel is spinning, your grandmother works clay at the center of the wheel with her hands into a pot-shaped object with circular symmetry. When the correct shape is reached, she wants to stop the wheel in as short a time interval as possible, so that the shape of the pot is not further distorted by the rotation. She pushes continuously with a wet rag as hard as she can radially inward on the edge of the wheel and the wheel stops in 6.0 s. (a) You would like to build a brake to stop the wheel in a shorter time interval, but you must determine the coefficient of friction between the rag and the wheel in order to design a better system. You determine that the maximum pressing force your grandmother can sustain for 6.00 s is 70.0 N. (b) What If? If your grandmother instead chooses to press down on the upper surface of the wheel a distance r = 0.300 m from the axis of rotation, what is the force needed to stop the wheel in 6.00 s? Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wet rag and the wheel remains the same as before.arrow_forward
- Stars originate as large bodies of slowly rotating gas. Because of gravity, these clumps of gas slowly decrease in size. What happens to the angular speed of a star as it shrinks? Explain.arrow_forwardA solid sphere is released from height h from the top of an incline making an angle with the horizontal. Calculate the speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom of the incline (a) in the case that it rolls without slipping and (b) in the case that it slides frictionlessly without rolling. (c) Compare the time intervals required to reach the bottom in cases (a) and (b).arrow_forwardThree objects of uniform densitya solid sphere, a solid cylinder, and a hollow cylinderare placed at the top of an incline (Fig. CQ10.13). They are all released from rest at the same elevation and roll without slipping, (a) Which object reaches the bottom first? (b) Which reaches it last? Note: The result is independent of the masses and the radii of the objects. (Try this activity at home!) Figure CQ10.13arrow_forward
- Example 10.6 Angular Acceleration of a Wheel A wheel of radius R mass M and moment of inertia I is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axle as in Figure 10.14. A light cord wrapped around the wheel supports an object of mass m. When the wheel is released, the object accelerates downward, the cord unwraps off the wheel, and the wheel rotates with an angular acceleration. Find expressions for the angular acceleration of the wheel, the translational acceleration of the object, and the tension in the cord. 5. Using the results from Example 10.6, how would you calculate the angular speed of the wheel and the linear speed of the hanging object at t = 2 s, assuming the system is released from rest at t = 0?arrow_forwardDescribe how work is done by a skater pulling in her arms during a spin. In particular, identify the force she exerts on each arm to pull it in and the distance each moves, noting that a component of the force is in the direction moved. Why is angular momentum not increased by this action?arrow_forwardConsider an object on a rotating disk a distance r from its center, held in place on the disk by static friction. 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_forward
- Consider the Earth-Moon system. Construct a problem in which you calculate the total angular momentum of the system including the spins of the Earth and the Moon on their axes and the orbital angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system in its nearly monthly rotation. Calculate what happens to the Moon's orbital radius if the Earth's rotation decreases due to tidal drag. Among the things to be considered are the amount by which the Earth's rotation slows and the fact that the Moon will continue to have one side always facing the Earth.arrow_forwardA 60.0-kg woman stands at the western rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of 500 kg m2 and a radius of 2.00 m. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s relative to the Earth. Consider the womanturntable system as motion begins. (a) Is the mechanical energy of the system constant? (b) Is the momentum of the system constant? (c) Is the angular momentum of the system constant? (d) In what direction and with what angular speed does the turntable rotate? (c) How much potential energy in the womans body is converted into mechanical energy of the womanturntable system as the woman sets herself and the turntable into motion?arrow_forwardAn automobile engine can produce 200 N m of torque. Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0% of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0 kg disk that has a 0.180 m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.arrow_forward
