Determine if the system has translational kinetic energy, rotational kinetic energy, neither, or both as determined by the observer in each of the following cases. a. The observer watches the flight of the Frisbee across the field from a park bench. b. The observer is a dog that runs directly beneath the Frisbee. c. The observer is an ant at rest on the Frisbee.arrow_forward(a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850 m from the hinges.

- BIO The arm in Figure P10.35 weighs 41.5 N. The gravitational force on the arm acts through point A. Determine the magnitudes of the tension force F1 in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown. Figure P10.35arrow_forwardHeading straight toward the summit of Pikes Peak, an airplane of mass 12 000 kg flies over the plains of Kansas at nearly constant altitude 4.30 km with constant velocity 175 m/s west. (a) What is the airplanes vector angular momentum relative to a wheat farmer on the ground directly below the airplane? (b) Does this value change as the airplane continues its motion along a straight line? (c) What If? What is its angular momentum relative to the summit of Pikes Peak?arrow_forwardMany of the elements in horizontal-bar exercises can be modeled by representing the gymnast by four segments consisting of arms, torso (including the head), thighs, and lower legs, as shown in Figure P8.15a. Inertial parameters for a particular gymnast are as follows: Note that in Figure P8.l5a rcg is the distance to the center of gravity measured from the joint closest to the bar and the masses for the arms, thighs, and legs include both appendages. I is the moment of inertia of each segment about its center of gravity. Determine the distance from the bar to the center of gravity of the gymnast for the two positions shown in Figures P8.15b and P8.15c. Figure P8.15arrow_forward
- When a person jumps off a diving platform, she imparts some amount of angular momentum to her body. (To see why, consider a person who jumps straight up: She falls straight down. When a person jumps off a diving platform, she must jump at an angle to the vertical, or she would land on the board.) While she is in the air, angular momentum is conserved. Draw a free-body diagram of the diver in the air and use it to explain why angular momentum is conserved during flight. It may be useful to include the axes of rotation for the two common types of spinning moves that divers perform: twists and flips (Fig. P13.74).arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure OQ10.7, a cord is wrapped onto a cylindrical reel mounted on a fixed, friction less, horizontal axle. When does the reel have a greater magnitude of angular acceleration? (a) When the cord is pulled down with a constant force of 50 N. (b) When an object of weight 50 X is hung from the cord and released, (c) The angular accelerations in parts (a) and (b) are equal, (d) It is impossible to determine.arrow_forwardA plank with a mass M = 6.00 kg rests on top of two identical, solid, cylindrical rollers that have R = 5.00 cm and m = 2.00 kg (Fig. P10.87). The plank is pulled by a constant horizontal force F of magnitude 6.00 N applied to the end of the plank and perpendicular to the axes of the cylinders (which are parallel). The cylinders roll without slipping on a Hat surface. There is also no slipping between the cylinders and the plank. (a) Find the initial acceleration of the plank at the moment the rollers are equidistant from the ends of the plank. (b) Find the acceleration of the rollers at this moment. (c) What friction forces are acting at this moment?arrow_forward
- Figure CQ10.15 shows a side view of a childs tricycle with rubber tires on a horizontal concrete sidewalk. If a string were attached to the upper pedal on the far side and pulled forward horizontally, the tricycle would start to roll forward. (a) Instead, assume a siring is attached to the lower pedal on the near side and pulled forward horizontally as shown by A. Will the tricycle start to roll? If so, which way? Answer the same questions if (b) the string is pulled forward and upward as shown by B, (c) if the string is pulled straight down as shown by C, and (d) if the string is pulled forward and downward as shown by D. (e) What If? Suppose the string is instead attached to the rim of the front wheel and pulled upward and backward as shown by E. Which way does the tricycle roll? (f) Explain a pattern of reasoning, based on the figure, that makes it easy to answer questions such as these. What physical quantity must you evaluate? Figure CQ10.15arrow_forwardFriction in an old clock causes it to lose 1 minute per hour. Assume the angular acceleration is constant, the positive z axis points out of the face of the clock, and at the beginning of the hour it was at its ideal angular speed. Find the angular acceleration of the minute hand (long hand) and its angular velocity at the end of the hour.arrow_forwardFigure P10.82 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all surfaces is 0.500. The force P is increased in magnitude until the cylinder begins to rotate. In terms of Fg, find the maximum force magnitude P that can be applied without causing the cylinder to rotate. Suggestion: Show that both friction forces will be at their maximum values when the cylinder is on the verge of slipping. Figure P10.82arrow_forward
