A solid sphere and a hollow cylinder of the same mass and radius have a rolling race down an incline as in Example 13.9 (page 372). They start at rest on an incline at a height h above a horizontal plane. The race then continues along the horizontal plane. The coefficient of rolling friction between each rolling object and the surface is the same. Which object rolls the farthest? (Justify your answer with an algebraic expression.)
72. Conservation of energy provides a very simple approach to this problem. Each object starts at rest on the incline, and each object stops on the horizontal surface. Along the way there is an increase in thermal energy between the surface and the object. Let’s include the Earth, the rolling object, and the surface in the system. We set the reference configuration to the horizontal surface. We can create an energy bar chart as we’ve done

previously to see that the initial gravitational potential energy is eventually dissipated as thermal energy as the object rolls a total distance S.
Each object has the same mass m, is released from the same height h, and has the same coefficient of rolling friction

- Review. An object with a mass of m = 5.10 kg is attached to the free end of a light string wrapped around a reel of radius R = 0.250 m and mass M = 3.00 kg. The reel is a solid disk, free to rotate in a vertical plane about the horizontal axis passing through its center as shown in Figure P10.45. The suspended object is released from rest 6.00 m above the floor. Determine (a) the tension in the string, (b) the acceleration of the object, and (c) the speed with which the object hits the floor.

Find the maximum distance that the sphere travels up the ramp in each case: a) The ramp is frictionless, so the sphere continues to rotate with its initial angular speed until it reaches its maximum height. b) The ramp provides enough friction to prevent the sphere from sliding, so both the linear and rotational motion stop (instantaneously).arrow_forward

Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2. a) If such a flywheel of radius r1 = 1.4 m and mass m1 = 23 kg can spin at a maximum speed of v = 35 m/s at its rim, calculate the maximum amount of energy, in joules, that this flywheel can store. b)Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 1.4 m, mass m1 = 23 kg, v = 35 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 15 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel. c) Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim.
