You turn off your electric drill and find that the time interval for the rotating bit to come to rest due to frictional torque in the drill is Δt. You replace the bit with a larger one that results in a doubling of the moment of inertia of the drill’s entire rotating mechanism. When this larger bit is rotated at the same angular speed as the first and the drill is turned off, the frictional torque remains the same as that for the previous situation. What is the time interval for this second bit to come to rest? (a) 4Δt (b) 2Δt (c) Δt (d) 0.5Δt (e) 0.25Δt (f) impossible to determine

- An electric motor turns a flywheel through a drive belt that joins a pulley on the motor and a pulley that is rigidly attached to the flywheel as shown in Figure P10.37. The flywheel is a solid disk with a mass of 80.0 kg and a radius R = 0.625 m. It turns on a frictionless axle. Its pulley has much smaller mass and a radius of r = 0.230 m. The tension Tu in the upper (taut) segment of the belt is 135 N, and the flywheel has a clockwise angular acceleration of 1.67 rad/s2. Find the tension in the lower (slack) segment of the belt. Figure P10.37arrow_forwardA disk with moment of inertia I1 rotates about a frictionless, vertical axle with angular speed i. 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.

It starts from rest with the lowest point of the sphere at height h above the bottom of the loop of radius R, much larger than r.

About which of the coordinate axes does the system have (i) the smallest and (ii) the largest moment of inertia? (a) the x axis (b) the y axis (c) the z axis.

A second horizontal disk having moment of inertia I2 drops onto the first, initially not rotating but sharing the same axis as the first disk.

FIGURE P12.71 Problems 71-75arrow_forwardProblems 62 and 63 are paired. 62. C A disk is rotating around a fixed axis that passes through its center and is perpendicular to the face of the disk. Consider a point on the rim of the disk (point R) and another point halfway between the center and the rim (point H) at one particular instant. a. How does the angular speed v of the disk at point H compare with the angular speed of the disk at point R? b. How does the tangential speed of the disk at point H compare with the tangential speed of the disk at point R? c. Suppose we pick a point H on the disk at random (by throwing a dart, for example), and we compare the speeds at that point with the speeds at point R. How will the answers to parts (a) and (b) be different? Explain.arrow_forwardThe reel shown in Figure P10.79 has radius R and moment of inertia I. One end of the block of mass m is connected to a spring of force constant k, and the other end is fastened to a cord wrapped around the reel. The reel axle and the incline are frictionless. The reel is wound counterclockwise so that the spring stretches a distance d from its unstretched position and the reel is then released from rest. Find the angular speed of the reel when the spring is again unstretched.arrow_forward
