Textbook Question

Chapter 11, Problem 51PCE

Predict/Explain A student rotates on a frictionless piano stool with his arms outstretched a heavy weight in each hand Suddenly he lets go of the weights, and they fall to the floor As a result does the student’s angular speed increase, decrease or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:

I. The loss of angular momentum when the weights are dropped causes the student to rotate more slowly.
II. The student s moment of inertia is decreased by dropping the weights
III. Dropping the weights exerts no torque on the student, but the floor exerts a torque on the weights when they land.

4.4 A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover's truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward with a force F whose direction makes an angle of 30.0° 75.0° with the ramp (Fig. E4.4). (a) How large a force F is necessary for the component Fx parallel to the ramp to be 90.0 N? (b) How large will the component Fy perpendicular to the ramp be then? Figure E4.4 30.0 20.0°

1. * A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle e, with an initial velocity magnitude v., from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile lands on the tabletop a horizontal distance R (the "range") away from where it left the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for vo (i.e., determine an expression for Vo in terms of only R, 0., and g). Your final equation will be called Equation 1.
