Textbook Question

Chapter 11.4, Problem 11.4GI

You step onto an initially nonrotating turntable like the one in Fig. 11.8, holding a nonrotating wheel with its axis vertical. You’re careful not to exert any torques so that the turntable remains stationary as you step on. (1) If you then spin the wheel counterclockwise as viewed from above, will you and the turntable rotate (a) clockwise or (b) counterclockwise? (2) If you now turn the spinning wheel upside down, will your rotation rate (a) increase, (b) decrease, or (c) remain the same? (3) As you turn the wheel upside down, will the direction of rotation (a) remain unchanged or (b) reverse?

Students have asked these similar questions

Figure 8.14 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.

2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, 0, y and g. Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for timet (in terms of v., 0.,y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and Equation 4).
