A person is riding a bicycle, and its wheels have an angular velocity of 11.9 rad/s. Then, the brakes are applied and the bile is brought to a uniform stop. During braking, the angular displacement of each wheel is 13.83 revolutions. How much time does it take for the bike to come to rest? Note: express your answer in whole numbers. No unit is required for the final answer. Set your calculator in radians.
A square plastic disk is placed on a turn table to be rotated around an axis that goes through its centre. One side of the disk measure 0.54 m. A force of 27.9 N, parallel to the plane in which the disc lie, is applied to one corner of the disk in order to rotate the disc. What is the maximum torque that the force can exert on the disc to rotate it? Answer in N · m with 3DDP, no sign.
The distance from the fisherman's hand to the tip of the rod is L = 1.94 m. A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of F = 110 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the fisherman's hand
A spherical shell with 0.13 kg of mass and 0.050 m of radius rolled without slipping on a horizontal floor. A ramp was placed on the floor. The spherical shell rolled up the incline without slipping to a vertical height of 0.46 m before stopping. The ramp has a length of 1.8 m along the incline. Find the speed of the spherical shell before it reached the ramp. Hint: the spherical shell has rotational kinetic energy. The rotational inertia of a spherical shell is (2/3)mr^2.
You are in a tall building located near the equator. As you ride an elevator from the ground floor to the top floor, your tangential speed due to the earth's rotation O increases O decreases O increases when the speed of the elevator increases and decreases when the speed of the elevator decreases does not change
To a light beam (of negligible mass), two antiparallel forces are applied, as shown in the figure. These forces cause a net torque equal to 8.9 Nm (and with the same direction as that caused by F2) at the left end of the beam. If F1 = 9.8 N and F2 = 5.7 N, determine the distance "l" that separates them.
If you hold your arm outstretched with your palm upward, the force to keep your arm from falling comes from your deltoid muscle. Assume that the arm with hand has mass 4.25 kg and the distances and angles shown. What is the magnitude of the torque must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
The figure below shows a fisherman with a fishing pole that makes an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. The distance from the fisherman's hand to the tip of the pole is L = 1.89 m. A fish is on the line, and it pulls the line with a force of F = 119 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the torque (in N · m) exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the fisherman's hand?
A motorcyclist is traveling along a road and accelerates for 6.94 s to pass another cyclist. The angular acceleration of each wheel is +8.39 rad/s2, and, just after passing, the angular velocity of each is +80.6 rad/s, where the plus signs indicate counterclockwise directions. What is the angular displacement of each wheel during this time?
In unit-vector notation, what is the net torque about the origin on a flea located at coordinates (0, -4.30 m, 7.74 m) when forces F = (3.80 N )k and F = (-7.82 N )Ĵ act on the flea? 2 Number i î i i k Units
A wheel of radius 0.447 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is 0.0458 kg-m2. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a 3.00 kg block that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force of magnitude P = 2.91 N is applied to the block as shown in the figure, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Take the clockwise direction to be the negative direction and assume the string does not slip on the wheel.
A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.75 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular velocity of 395 rev/min (assumed constant) on its way to the catcher's mitt. What is the angular displacement of the baseball (in radians) as it travels from the pitcher to the catcher? Note: Express your answer in whole numbers. No unit is required for the final answer. Set your calculator in radians. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.
