A 1.0-m-long massless rod is pivoted at one end and swings around in a circle on a frictionless table. A block with a hole through the center can slide in and out along the rod. Initially, a small piece of wax holds the block 30 cm from the pivot. The block is spun at 50 rpm, then the temperature of the rod is slowly increased. When the wax melts, the block slides out to the end of the rod. What is the final angular speed? Give your answer in rpm.

- A star originates as a large body of slowly rotating gas.Because of gravitational attraction, this large body of gas slowly decreases in size.You can assume that no external forces are acting.Which one of the following statements correctly describes what happens as the radius of the body of gas decreases? Both the moment of inertia and the angular velocity increase. Both the angular momentum and the angular velocity increase. The angular momentum increases and the angular velocity decreases. Both the angular momentum and the angular velocity decrease. The angular momentum remains constant and the angular velocity increases.arrow_forwardFigure P9.75 shows a 100 g puck revolving at 100 rpm on a 20-cm-radius circle on a frictionless table. A string attached to the puck passes through a hole in the middle of the table. The end of the string below the table is then slowly pulled down until the puck is revolving in a 10-cm-radius circle. How many revolutions per minute does the puck make at this new radius?arrow_forwardA solid cylinder has length L = 14 cm and radius R = 2 cm. The center of one face of the cylinder is located at the origin and the cylinder’s axis lies along the positive x-axis. The mass density of the cylinder varies along its length and is given by the function: ρ(x) = Ax2 + Bx + C, where A = 13.5 kg/m5, B = 5.2 kg/m4, and C = 14.2 kg/m3. Consider a thin slice of the cylinder that is a disk located at distance x from the origin and having thickness dx. Enter an expression for the mass of this disk in terms of the defined quantities and dx. Integrate the expression you entered in part (a) and enter an expression for the mass of the whole cylinder in terms of the defined quantities. Calculate the mass of the cylinder, in grams. Enter an expression for the location of the cylinder’s center of mass along the x-axis, in terms of the defined quantities. Calculate the location of the cylinder’s center of mass along the x-axis, in centimeters.arrow_forward
- An air puck of mass m1 = 0.25 kg is tied to a siring and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius R = 1.0 m on a frictionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of m2 = 1.0 kg is tied to it (Fig. P7.27). The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves, (a) What is the tension in the string? (b) What is the horizontal force acting on the puck? (c) What is the speed of the puck?arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure P8.20, a bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod (not a string) of length , and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the pendulum bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle? Figure P8.20arrow_forwardAs it plows a parking lot, a snowplow pushes an ever-growing pile of snow in front of it. Suppose a car moving through the air is similarly modeled as a cylinder of area A pushing a growing disk of air in front of it. The originally stationary air is set into motion at the constant speed v of the cylinder as shown in Figure P8.32. In a time interval t, a new disk of air of mass m must be moved a distance v t and hence must be given a kinetic energy 12(m)v2. Using this model, show that the cars power loss owing to air resistance is 12Av3 and that the resistive force acting on the car is 12Av2, where is the density of air. Compare this result with the empirical expression 12DAv2 for the resistive force. Figure P8.32arrow_forward
- A uniform rod of mass 190 g and length 100 cm is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a fixed vertical axis through its center, perpendicular to its length. Two small beads, each of mass 24 g, are mounted in grooves along the rod. Initially, the two beads are held by catches on opposite sides of the rod's center, 12 cm from the axis of rotation. With the beads in this position, the rod is rotating with an angular velocity of 15.0 rad/s. When the catches are released, the beads slide outward along the rod.
