- The truck shown below is initially at rest with solid cylindrical roll of paper sitting on its bed. If the truck moves forward with a uniform acceleration a , what distance s does it move before the paper rolls off its back end? (Hint: If the roll accelerates forward with a , then is acceleration aa . Also, R=aa .)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_forwardDraw a free body diagram to show how a diver gains angular momentum when leaving the diving board.arrow_forward
- A person balances a meterstick in a horizontal position on the extended index fingers of her right and left hands. She slowly brings the two fingers together. The stick remains balanced, and the two fingers always meet at the 50-cm mark regardless of their original positions. (Try it!) Explain why that occurs.arrow_forwardRepeat Example 10.15 in which the stick is free to have translational motion as well as rotational motion.arrow_forwardA 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_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_forwardCHECK and THINK Our results give us a way to think about how a person might steer a unicycle. Consider the person, the unicycle, and the Earth as the system. No net torque acts on the system. Ignoring the motion of the Earth, Figure 13.37A shows the initial angular momentum of the system with the unicycle in motion: Li=Ltire. The person leans to his left so that the angular momentum of the tire rotates downward. The total angular momentum must still point to the right (Fig. 13.37B), so the angular momentum of the person must be upward to compensate. The persons angular velocity therefore points upward (parallel to his own angular momentum), and he is able to make a turn. Another way to analyze this situation is to exclude the Earth from the system and calculate the torque done by gravity. This approach is left as a homework problem. FIGURE 13.37 C Reanalyze the unicycles motion in Example 13.15 (page 382). This time, leave the Earth out of the system and explain how the torque exerted by gravity causes the unicycle to turn. Your explanation should involve a diagram.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider the work done by a spinning skater pulling her arms in to increase her rate of spin. Construct a problem in which you calculate the work done with a "force multiplied by distance" calculation and compare it to the skater's increase in kinetic energy.arrow_forward
- Two flywheel fo negligible mass and different radii are bounded together and rotate about common axis (see below). The smaller flywheel of radius 30 cm has a cord that has a pulling force of 50 N on it. What pulling force needs to be applied to the cord connecting the larger flywheel of radius 50 cm such that the combination does not rotate?arrow_forwardNearly all conventional piston engines have flywheels on them to smooth out engine vibrations caused by the thrust of individual piston firings. Why does the flywheel have this effect?arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure 10.13 on page 306, toppling chimneys often break apart in midfall because the mortar between the bricks cannot withstand much shear stress. As the chimney begins to fall, shear forces must act on the topmost sections to accelerate them tangentially so that they can keep up with the rotation of the lower part of the stack. For simplicity, let us model the chimney as a uniform rod of length pivoted at the lower end. The rod starts at rest in a vertical position (with the frictionless pivot at the bottom) and falls over under the influence of gravity. What fraction of the length of the rod has a tangential acceleration greater than g sin , where is the angle the chimney makes with the vertical axis?arrow_forward
