Chapter 6, Problem 4OQ
A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ6.4. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point?

A semi-cylindrical groove of radius r = 20 cm is made on a horizontal
floor. An ant wants to cross the groove. A boy decides to help the ant
making a bridge consisting of straight wire segments. But all the wires
available are of length l = 38 cm, so the boy rigidly connects two wires
at right angle and places the bridge in the groove as shown in the figure.
If the ant can crawl up a wire segment at speed v = 0.5 cm/s and down
a wire segment at speed 2v, in what minimum time can the ant cross
the groove with the help of this bridge?
A rod of length L=3.00 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A ball of mass m = 10.0 kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle θ0 = 70° and released with initial velocity ? = 5.00 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the lowest point? (b) what is the speed of the ball when θ = 10°?
A light, rigid rod is 68.5 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle?

- A 148 g ball is released from rest H = 1.51 m above the bottom track. It rolls down a straight 45° segment, then back up a parabolic segment whose shape is given by y = x2/4, where x and y are in m. How high will the ball go on the right before reversing direction and rolling back down?arrow_forwardA hollow sphere (I=2/3mr^2) of radius R rotates about a diameter with an angular speed ω. The sphere then collapses (magically) under the action of internal forces to a final radius of R/2 with no change in its mass. What is the final angular speed of the sphere? The answer is 4ω but I'm not sure how to get there.arrow_forwardNZM.11 An unpowered roller-coaster car starts at rest at the top of a hill of height H, rolls down the hill, and then goes around a vertical loop of radius R. Determine the minimum value for H required if the car is to stay on the track at the top of the loop. (Hints: At the top of the loop, the car is upside down. If it is in contact with the track, though, the contact interaction will exert a normal force on the car perpendicular to the track and away from the track, since the normal force is a compression force. You may find it helpful to use conservation of energy here.)arrow_forward
- In the figure, a solid 0.2 kg ball rolls smoothly from rest (starting at height H = 6.4 m) until it leaves the horizontal section at the end of the track, at height h = 2.3 m. How far horizontally from point A does the ball hit the floor?arrow_forwardIn the figure here, a small, solid, uniform ball is to be shot from point P so that it rolls smoothly along a horizontal path, up along a ramp, and onto a plateau.

The vertical heights are h, to land at d = 6.5 cm? 5.0 cm and h, = 1.60 cm.

- A Stone Age hunter stands on a cliff overlooking a flat plain. He places a 1.0 kg rock in a sling, ties the sling to a 1.0-m-long vine, then swings the rock in a horizontal circle around his head. The plane of the motion is 25 m above the plain below. The tension in the vine increases as the rock goes faster and faster. Suddenly, just as the tension reaches 200 N, the vine snaps. If the rock is moving toward the cliff at this instant, how far out on the plain (from the base of the cliff) will it land?arrow_forwardA hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth’s surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radius RE of the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth’s surface. Your expression should involve h, RE, and mE (the earth’s mass).arrow_forwardA conical pendulum consists of a mass of 0.5 kg attached at one end of a sting. The other end is fixed. As the mass moves in a circular path of radius 0.7 m, the string traces out the surface of a cone. What is the angle that the string makes with the ceiling?arrow_forward
- An amusing trick is to press a finger down on a marble on a horizontal table top, in such a way that the marble is projected along the table with an initial linear speed v and an initial backward rotational speed ω about a horizontal axis perpendicular to v. The coefficient of sliding friction between marble and top is constant. The marble has radius R. If the marble skids to a stop and then starts returning toward its initial position, with a final constant speed of 0.620v, what was ω in terms of v and R? Hint for part (b): When the marble rolls without slipping, the relationship between speed and angular speed is v = ωR.arrow_forwardA playground ride consists of a disk of mass M = 48 kg and radius R = 2.2 m mounted on a low-friction axle.
