A student stands on a platform that is free to rotate and holds two dumbbells, each at a distance of 65 cm from his central axis. Another student gives him a push and starts the system of student, dumbbells, and platform rotating at 0.50 rev/s. The student on the platform then pulls the dumbbells in close to his chest so that they are each 22 cm from his central axis. Each dumbbell has a mass of 1.00 kg and the rotational inertia of the student, platform, and dumbbells is initially 2.40 kg-m². Model each arm as a uniform rod of mass 3.00 kg with one end at the central axis; the length of the arm is initially 65 cm and then is reduced to 22 cm. What is his new rate of rotation? HH 65 cm 65 cm M 22 cm

A pulley has a negligible mass (that means, the radius is not relevant). It is supported with a pin at the center (and is free to rotate). A rope goes over the pulley. Block A, which has a mass of 5.723 kg is connected to one side of the rope. On the other side, Block B, with a mass of 12.602 kg is connected. The system is released from rest. What is the speed of block B, after B has traveled 0.716 m? Please enter a positive value in m/s (but without units) regardless of the direction of the motion of B
While working as an intern in a blacksmith's shop, you realize that the brake on the sharpening stone (a stone uniform disk) is no longer working. To stop the rotation at the end of the day, you put your knowledge of physics to good use and use a steel axe to stop the rotation. You press the steel axe against the stone using a radial force of 19.5 N. The stone is originally rotating at a rate of 85 revolutions per minute (out of the page), has a radius of 0.350 m, and a mass of 91.0 kg. Choose out of the page to be positive. a) Given a coefficient of kinetic friction between the stone and the axe equal to 0.20, what is the angular acceleration of the sharpening stone? b) What angular displacement did the stone turn through from its initial angular speed to when the stone stops rotating?
An object of mass m, = 4.60 kg is connected by a light cord to an object of mass m, = 3.00 kg on a frictionless surface (see figure). The pulley rotates about a frictionless axle and has a moment of inertia of 0.520 kg m and a radius of 0.290 m. Assume that the cord does not slip on the pulley. 2 T2 (a) Find the acceleration of the two masses. m/s2 (b) Find the tensions T, and 12 T. T = T2 =
A student places a coin on a flat disk. The flat disk is allowed to rotate around an axis through its center. The angular velocity of the flat disk gradually increases. The coin initially rotates with the disk but eventually slides off the disk. Which of the following is the best explanation for the coin's behavior? The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration
A mass m₁ is attached to a mass m₂ that runs through a hole in a frictionless table as in the figure below. How many rotations per second must the mass m₁ make such that m₂ does not slide down? Assume the radius, r = 0.5 m, and that m₂ is twice the mass of m₁. 4.0 rot/s 2.0 rot/s 1.0 rot/s 3.0 rot/s 5.0 rot/s r m2 m1
Two buckets of mass ?1=17.5 kg and ?2=15.1 kg are attached to the ends of a massless rope which passes over a pulley with a mass of ?p=8.53 kg and a radius of ?p=0.450 m. Assume that the rope does not slip on the pulley, and that the pulley rotates without friction. The buckets are released from rest and begin to move. If the larger bucket is a distance ?0=2.05 m above the ground when it is released, with what speed ? will it hit the ground?
Two big bugs, Buzz and Crunchy each of mass 0.65 kg, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 9.5 m and it rotates once every 1.2 s. What is the magnitude of the net force on Buzz, in Newtons?
Case 1: A DJ starts up her phonograph player. The turntable accelerates uniformly from rest, and takes t1 = 10.7 seconds to get up to its full speed of f1 = 78 revolutions per minute.Case 2: The DJ then changes the speed of the turntable from f1 = 78 to f2 = 120 revolutions per minute. She notices that the turntable rotates exactly n2= 16 times while accelerating uniformly. a)Calculate the angular speed described in Case 1, given as f1 = 78 revolutions per minute, into units of radians/second. d)Calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the turntable (in radians/second2) while increasing to 120 RPM (Case 2).
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow the Earth's rotation to once per 30.5 h by exerting an opposing force at the equator and parallel to it. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.60 x 10' N (comparable to a Saturn V rocket's thrust). Assume the Earth's initial rotation is exactly once per 24.0 h to find how long Zorch must push with this force to accomplish his goal. (This gives Superman time to devote to other villains. The Earth's mass is 5.98 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.38 x 106 m.) Additional Materials |Reading
