Concept explainers
* You have an empty cylindrical metal can and two metal nuts. In your first experiment, you spin the can around its axis and place it on a rough table (Figure P9.69). The can slows down due to friction, with the rotational acceleration

- A sleeping area for a long space voyage consists of two cabins each connected by a cable to a central hub as shown in Figure P13.30. The cabins are set spinning around the hub axis, which is connected to the rest of the spacecraft to generate artificial gravity in the cabins. A space traveler lies in a bed parallel to the outer wall as shown in Figure P13.30. (a) With r = 10.0 m, what would the angular speed of the 60.0 kg traveler need to be if he is to experience half his normal Earth weight? (b) If the astronaut stands up perpendicular to the bed, without holding on to anything with his hands, will his head be moving at a faster, a slower, or the same tangential speed as his feet? Why? (c) Why is the action in part (b) dangerous?

The length of the flagpole is , and it makes an angle with the x axis. The ball becomes loose and starts to fall with acceleration gj. (a) Determine the angular momentum of the ball about point P as a function of time. (b) For what physical reason does the angular momentum change? (c) What is the rate of change of the angular momentum of the ball about point P?

- The moment of inertia of a long rod spun around an axis through one end perpendicular to its length is ML2/3 Why is this moment of inertia greater than it would be if you spun a point mass M at the location of the center of mass of the rod (at L/2)? (That would be ML2/4.)arrow_forwardReview. As shown in Figure P10.77, two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a pulley of radius r= 0.250 m and moment of inertia I. The block on the frictionless incline is moving with a constant acceleration of magnitude a = 2.00 m/s2. From this information, we wish to find the moment of inertia of the pulley. (a) What analysis model is appropriate for the blocks? (b) What analysis model is appropriate for the pulley? (c) From the analysis model in part (a), find the tension T1(d) Similarly, find the tension T2. (e) From the analysis model in part (b), find a symbolic expression for the moment of inertia of the pulley in terms of the tensions T1 and T2. the pulley radius r, and the acceleration a. (f) Find the numerical value of the moment of inertia of the pulley.arrow_forwardWhile punting a football, a kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. The moment of inertia of the leg is 3.75kg-m2 and its rotational kinetic energy is 175 J. (a) What is the angular velocity of the leg?

(c) Explain how the football can be given a velocity greater than the tip of the shoe (necessary for a decent kick distance).arrow_forward
- Unreasonable Results A gymnast doing a forward flip lands on the mat and exerts a 500- Nm torque to slow and then reverse her angular velocity. Her initial angular velocity is 10.0 rad/s, and her moment of inertia is 0.050kgm2. (a) What time is required for her to exactly reverse her spin? (b) What is unreasonable about the result?

A second disk, this one having moment of inertia I2 and initially not rotating, drops onto the first disk (Fig. P10.50). Because of friction between the surfaces, the two eventually reach the same angular speed f. (a) Calculate f. (b) Calculate the ratio of the final to the initial rotational energy.
