When an object is rolling without slipping, the rolling friction force is much less than the friction force when the object is sliding: a silver dollar will roll on its edge much farther than it will slide on its flat side (sec Section 5.3). When an object is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface, we can approximate the friction force to be zero, so that ax and αz are approximately zero and vx and ωz. are approximately constant. Rolling without slipping means vx = rωz and αx= rαz. If an object is set in motion on a surface without these equalities, sliding (kinetic) friction will act on the object as it slips until rolling without slipping is established. A solid cylinder with mass M and radius R, rotating with angular speed ω0 about an axis through its center, is set on a horizontal surface for which the kinetic friction coefficient is μk.(a) Draw a free-body diagram for the cylinder on the surface. Think carefully about the direction of the kinetic friction force on the cylinder. Calculate the accelerations ax of the center of mass and αz of rotation about the center of mass, (b) The cylinder is initially slipping completely, so initially ωz = ω0 but vx = 0. Rolling without slipping sets in when vx = rωz. Calculate the distance the cylinder rolls before slipping stops, (c) Calculate the work done by the friction force on the cylinder as it moves from where it was set down to where it begins to roll without slipping.

- Torque You are playing with the masking tape that came in your lab box. This tape has a thickness that is not small compared to the radius. You measure it and it has an outer radius of 6.40 cm and an inner radius of 3.95 cm. You weigh the tape roll and find that it has a mass of 79.5 g. Now you roll the tape like you would a hoop (Rolling tape 1 (00:05)). The video illustrates the idea of the motion - please do NOT use it for numerical values. You find that the tape starts from rest, and has a torque applied when you push on it with your finger. You push on the outer edge (perpendicular to the radial direction). This causes the tape to accelerate. After 0.75 seconds, you find that the tape has an angular velocity of 53.0 rpm (rotations / minute). What is the Force you applied to the tape to start the rotation?
