CP Two uniform solid spheres, each with mass M = 0.800 kg and radius R = 0.0800 m, are connected by a short, light rod that is along a diameter of each sphere and are at rest on a horizontal tabletop. A spring with force constant k = 160 N/m has one end attached to the wall and the other end attached to a frictionless ring that passes over the rod at the center of mass of the spheres, which is midway between the centers of the two spheres. The spheres are each pulled the same distance from the wall, stretching the spring, and released. There is sufficient friction between the tabletop and the spheres for the spheres to roll without slipping as they move back and forth on the end of the spring. Show that the motion of the center of mass of the spheres is simple harmonic and calculate the period.

- As shown in Figure P8.20, a bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod (not a string) of length , and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the pendulum bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle? Figure P8.20arrow_forwardThe ball B shown in the figure has a mass of 1.5 kg and is suspended from the ceiling by a 1 m long elastic cord. If the cord is stretched downward 0.25 m and the ball is released from rest, determine how far the cord stretches after the ball rebounds from the ceiling. The stiffness of the cord is k = 800 N/m and the coefficient of restitution between the ball and ceiling is e = 0.8. The ball makes a central impact with the ceiling.arrow_forwardYou are advising a fellow student who wants to learn to perform multiple flips on the trampoline. You have him bounce vertically as high as he can, keeping his body perfectly straight and vertical. You determine that he can raise his center of mass by a distance of h = 6.00 m above its level when he initiates the jump. He can do a single flip by bouncing gently, throwing his arms forward over his head, and tucking his body. You use your smartphone to make a video of him doing a single flip. Based on analysis of this video, you determine that his moment of inertia is Istraight = 26.7 kg . m2 when his body is straight and Ituck = 5.62 kg . m2 in the tuck position. You suggest that he keep his body in the straight position for Δt, = 0.400 s after leaving the trampoline surface and then immediately go into a tuckposition. As he lands, he should straighten his body out Δt, = 0.400 s before he lands. From analysis of the video recording, you determine that throwing his arms forward causes…arrow_forward
- A metal cannonball of mass m rests next to a tree at the very edge of a cliff 36.0 m above the surface of the ocean. In an effort to knock the cannonball off the cliff, some children tie one end of a rope around a stone of mass 80.0 kg and the other end to a tree limb just above the cannonball. They tighten the rope so that the stone just clears the ground and hangs next to the cannonball. The children manage to swing the stone back until it is held at rest 1.80 m above the ground. The children release the stone, which then swings down and makes a head-on, elastic collision with the cannonball, projecting it horizontally off the cliff. The cannonball lands in the ocean a horizontal distance R away from its initial position. (a) Find the horizontal component R of the cannonball’s displacement as it depends on m. (b) What is the maximum possible value for R, and (c) to what value of m does it correspond?

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 237 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 1.8 x 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring? |compression| (a positive number) = %3D Additional Materials leBookarrow_forward1. An inventor patents a "golf machine". It consists of a "golf club" which is really a pendulum of length L = 2 (m), with a massles string and a mass M = 30 (kg) on the end. By pulling back on the pendulum until the string makes an angle 0= 10° from the vertical, and then releasing it from rest, the golf club strikes the "golf ball" exactly horizontally. The golf ball is a mass m = 0.1 (kg) that rests on a platform which is h = 20 (cm) above the horizontal ground. Assume that all collisions are elastic and all masses are point masses. Finally you should ignore air resistance but gravity acts down as usual.

- A 2.00-kg pendulum ball is attached to a light-uniform cable of length 1.20 m that is hanging from the ceiling at an angle of 50.00 to the vertical. When the pendulum ball is released from the rest position, it swings to the very bottom of the motion where it collides head-on with a 1.40-kg block that is initially at rest on a level surface. If the pendulum ball recoils at 1.50 m/s, what is the speed of the block after the collision? a. 3.88 m/s b. 6.29 m/s c. 3.03 m/s d. 4.75 m/s e. 5.98 m/sarrow_forwardA 5.00 kg block is moving at v0 = 6.00 m/s along a frictionless, horizontal surface toward a spring with force constant k = 500 N/m that is attached to a wall. The spring has negligible mass. What is the maximum compression of the spring i.e. how much will the spring compress before the block rebounds?arrow_forwardQIIII: A thin uniform rod of mass Mr and length L is suspended from the ceiling and mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle at the top. The rod is initially at rest in its equilibrium position when a ball of play dough, of mass mb, strikes the rod at its lower end and remains stuck to the rod. The sticky ball is thrown with an initial speed v0 at a 60 degree angle from the horizontal direction, and strikes the rod when it reaches the top of its trajectory, as shown in Fig.4. The acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g and air resistance is negligible. a. Determine the velocity of the ball of play dough right before it sticks to the rod. Use the x- y coordinate system defined in Fig.4. b. Determine the angular velocity of the rod+ball system right after the collision. Take counterclockwise as positive. c. - Establish the differential equation satisfied by the rod+ball system after the collision and determine the angular frequency of the system. You may assume that the small…arrow_forward
- Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.
