You’re choreographing your school’s annual ice show. You call for eight 60-kg skaters to join hands and skate side by side in a line extending 12 m. The skater at one end is to stop abruptly, so the line will rotate rigidly about that skater. For safety, you don’t want the fastest skater to be moving at more than 8.0 m/s. and you don’t want the force on that skater’s hand to exceed 300 N. What do you determine is the greatest speed the skaters can have before they execute their rotational maneuver?

- A kid's merry-go-round in a park is a thin 150 kg disk (I = ½ MR2) with a radius of 3 m mounted to rotate freely about a central axis. On the edge of %3D the disk is an essentially massless bar. A 25 kg child jumps onto the bar (tangentially to the outer rim of the disk) at a speed of 12 m/s and a distance of 3 m from the rotation axis. If we think of the child as being essentially a point mass, what is the angular velocity of the system after the collision?arrow_forwardA package of mass 7 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 4.0 1020 kg and radius 5.9 105 m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 188 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.1 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring?arrow_forwardA figure skater has a moment of inertia of 0.45 kg-m2. He is spinning at 315.6 rpm. He extends his arms until he slows down to 68.3 rpm. What is his new moment of inerta (in kg-m2)?arrow_forward
- A ride at a carnival has four spokes to which pods are attached that can hold two people. The spokes are each 15 m long and are attached to a central axis. Each spoke has mass 200.0 kg, and the pods each have mass 100.0 kg. If the ride spins at 0.2 rev/s with each pod containing two 50.0-kg children, what is the new spin rate if all the children jump off the ride?arrow_forwardA uniform block of granite in the shape of a book has face dimensions of 20 cm and 15 cm and a thickness of 1.2 cm.The density (mass per unit volume) of granite is 2.64 g/cm3. The block rotates around an axis that is perpendicular to its face and halfway between its center and a corner. Its angular momentum about that axis is 0.104 kgm2/s.What is its rotational kinetic energy about that axis?arrow_forwardThree children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is 162 kg, has a 1.60 m radius, and is spinning at 15.3 rpm. The children have masses of 17.4, 29.5, and 40.8 kg. If the child who has a mass of 29.5 kg moves to the center of the merry-go-round, what is the new angular velocity in rpm?arrow_forward
- You push a .50kg block against a spring (k=3100 N/m),compressing it by .12m. The block is then released from rest and the spring pushes the block away. The spring and the block lose contact and the block collides with a second block of twice the mass. The two blocks slide together down a frictionless track consisting of a flat straightaway and a vertical, semi-circle of radius 40cm. What is the speed of the blocks when they have travelled halfway up the semicircle part of the track? What is the magnitude of the normal force on the two blocks at that same location?arrow_forwardA massless spring of constant k = 78.4 N/m is fixed on the left side of a level track. A block of mass m = 0.50 kg is pressed against the spring and compresses it a distance d , as in Figure P7.76. The block (initially at rest) is then released and travels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 1.5 m. The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track along AB is μk 5 0.30, and that the length of AB is 2.5 m, determine the minimum compression d of the spring that enables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop at point C. Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block will be zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop.arrow_forwardA turntable with a mass of 12 kg and a radius of 2 meters spins at a constant angular velocity of 140 rpm. A 500-gram scoop of uniformly-dense ice cream falls onto the turntable, so the scoop's center of mass is one meter away from the turntable's center. The scoop forms a hemisphere and has a radius of 4 cm. If there's no friction between the brick and ice cream scoop and they spin at the same angular speed, what is their final angular speed, in rev/min or in rad/s? Justify your answer with your rationale and equations used. Moments of Inertia: Idisk =MR for rotation about its center of mass parallel to the z-axis. %3D Ihemisphere = MR for rotation about its center of mass parallel to the z-axis.

- To test the speed of a bullet, you create a pendulum by attaching a 4.70 kg wooden block to the bottom of a 1.20 m long, 0.800 kg rod. The top of the rod is attached to a frictionless axle and is free to rotate about that point. You fire a 10 g bullet into the block, where it sticks, and the pendulum swings out to an angle of 25.0°. What was the speed of the bullet? (Treat the wooden block as a particle.)arrow_forwardA horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.961 rad/s. You, with a mass of 66.5 kg, walk clockwise around the platform along its edge at the speed of 1.11 m/s with respect to the platform. Your 20.5 kg poodle also walks clockwise around the platform, but along a circle at half the platform's radius and at half your linear speed with respect to the platform. Your 18.3 kg mutt, on the other hand, sits still on the platform at a position that is 3/4 of the platform's radius from the center. Model the platform as a uniform disk with mass 92.9 kg and radius 1.93 m. Calculate the total angular momentum of the system.arrow_forwardA horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.947 rad/s.
