CE Predict/Explain A disk and a hoop (bicycle wheel) of equal radius and mass each have a string wrapped around their circumferences Hanging from the strings, halfway between the disk and the hoop, is a block of mass m, as shown in Figure 11-56. The disk and the hoop are free to rotate about their centers When the block is allowed to fall does it stay on the center line, move toward the right, or move toward the left'? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
Figure 11-56 Problem 71
- I. The disk is harder to rotate and hence its
angular acceleration is less than that of the wheel. - II. The wheel has the greater moment of inertia and unwinds more slowly than the disk.
- III. The system is symmetric, with equal mass and radius on either side.

- If global warming continues, its likely that some ice from the polar ice caps of the Earth will melt and the water will be distributed closer to the equator. If this occurs, would the length of the day (one rotation) (a) increase, (b) decrease, or (c) remain the same?arrow_forwardThe oldest artificial satellite still in orbit is Vanguard I, launched March 3, 1958. It mass is 1.60 kg. Neglecting atmospheric drag, the satellite would still be in its initial orbit, with a minimum distance from the center of Earth of 7.02 Mm and a speed at this perigee point of 8.23 km/s. For this orbit, find (a) the total energy of the satelliteEarth system and (b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the satellite. (c) At apogee, find the satellites speed and its distance from the center of the Earth. (d) Find the semimajor axis of its orbit. (e) Determine its period.arrow_forwardTwo particles of equal mass travel with the same speed in opposite directions along parallel lines separated by a distance d Show that the angular momentum of this two- particle system is the same no matter what point is used as the reference for calculating the angular momentum.arrow_forward
- A bug flying horizontally at 1.0 m/s collides and sticks to the end of a uniform stick hanging vertically. After the impact, the stick swings out to a maximum angle of 5.0 from the vertical before rotating back. If the mass of the stick is 10 times that of the bug, calculate the length of the stick.arrow_forwardIn Example 11.8, we investigated an elastic collision between a disk and a stick lying on a frictionless surface. Suppose everything is the same as in the example except that the collision is perfectly inelastic so that the disk adheres to the stick at the endpoint at which it strikes. Find (a) the speed of the center of mass of the system and (b) the angular speed of the system after the collision.arrow_forwardAn automobile engine can produce 200Nm 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
- A potters wheela thick stone disk of radius 0.500 in and mass 100 kgis freely rotating at 50.0 rev/min. The potter can stop the wheel in 6.00 s by pressing a wet rag against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of 70.0 N. Find the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between wheel and rag.arrow_forwardExplain why stars spin faster when they collapse.arrow_forwardStars 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_forward
- Figure 13.24 shows a particle with momentum p. Using the coordinate systems shown, determine the direction of the angular momentum of the particle around the origin in each case, and write expressions for L, using symbols defined in Figure 13.23. FIGURE 13.24arrow_forwardA bowling ball of radius 8.5 cm is tossed onto a bowling lane with speed 9.0 m/s. The direction of the toss is to the left, as viewed by the observer, so the bowing ball starts to rotate counterclockwise when in contact with the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the lane is 0.3. (a) What is the time required for the ball to come to the point where It is no slipping? What is the distance d to the point where the ball is rolling without slipping?arrow_forwardRepeat the preceding problem for a hollow sphere of the same radius and mass and initial speed. Explain the differences in the results.arrow_forward
