Concept explainers
A child rolls a marble on a bent track that is 100 cm long as shown in Figure P2.8. We use x to represent the position of the marble along the track. On the horizontal sections from x = 0 to x = 20 cm and from x = 40 cm to x = 60 cm, the marble rolls with constant speed. On the sloping sections, the marble’s speed changes steadily. At the places where the slope changes, the marble stays on the track and does not undergo any sudden changes in speed. The child gives the marble some initial speed at x = 0 and t = 0 and then watches it roll to x = 90 cm, where it turns around, eventually returning to x = 0 with the same speed with which the child released it. Prepare graphs of x versus t, vx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the marble. You will not be able to place numbers other than zero on the horizontal axis or on the velocity or acceleration axes, but show the correct graph shapes.

- The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6200 rpmrpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in 2.6 s. What is the angular acceleration as the blades slow down?arrow_forwardA wheel rotates through an angle of 324° as it slows down from 87.4 rpm to 18.7 rpm (revolutions per minute). What is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel in rad/s2?arrow_forwardYour 64 cm diameter car tire is rotating at 3.8 rev/s when suddenly you press down hard on the accelerator. After traveling 270 m, the tire's rotation has increased to 5.2 rev/s. What is the tire's angular acc? Give the answer in rad/s2.arrow_forward
- In 2010, the Sikorsky's X2 helicopter became the world's fastest helicopter, flying at 249 miles per hour. When flying over 230 mph, the rotor speed is reduced from 446 to 360 RPM to keep tip speed below Mach 0.9. If each one of the six rotor blades is about 4.02 m long, how fast is the blade tip actually moving when the rotational speed is 360 RPM?arrow_forwardA thread is wrapped around a cylindrical spool, of radius R = 2.0 cm, whose central axis is fixed on a support. Somebody’s hand pulls the thread off the spool. This causes the spool to rotate. The acceleration of the person’s hand is constant. Starting from rest, it takes 10 seconds for 5.0 meters of thread to be pulled off. What is the angular speed of the spool at time t = 2.0 s?arrow_forwardA green car starts off at the finish line at 0 m/s (initial velocity). The green race car does a complete rotation around the track. The track is 800 meters in length. When the race car reaches the finish line, it is driving at 30m/s in the west direction (final velocity). A second car, which is red, now pulls up to the finish line. The red car starts off at rest (initial velocity) and then speeds around the track at a velocity of 40 m/s west (final velocity), which flashed on the screen after the first lap. This took 20 seconds for the car to complete a full rotation.Compare the displacement of the green car to the displacement of the red car for 1 lap around the track.arrow_forward
- A 5.4-m-diameter merry-go-round is initially turning with a 4.1 s period. It steadily slows down and stops in 27 s. Before slowing, what is the speed of a child on the rim? How many revolutions does the merry-go-round make as it stops?arrow_forwardA 90 cm long rod rotates around the horizontal axis at one end. We raise the rod to the highest position and let it fall. With what angular speed is it moving at the lowest point?arrow_forwardA drill, at its highest speed, rotates at 6500 rpm. If the drill takes 0.590 s to go from rest to full speed, how many revolutions does it make in that time? 1.92×103 rev 32.1 rev 202 rev 402 revarrow_forward

What is the angular acceleration of the disk? At the end of 2.00 s, how many revolutions has the disk made?arrow_forwardThe bus's wheels have a radius 26 cm. The bus starts at rest and accelerates at a constant speed until it reaches an angular speed of 10.4 rev/s. During this period, the bus moved 100 m. How many revolutions does the wheel go through?arrow_forward
