A 1.0-m-long massless rod is pivoted at one end and swings around in a circle on a frictionless table. A block with a hole through the center can slide in and out along the rod. Initially, a small piece of wax holds the block 30 cm from the pivot. The block is spun at 50 rpm, then the temperature of the rod is slowly increased. When the wax melts, the block slides out to the end of the rod. What is the final angular speed? Give your answer in rpm.

- The puck in Figure P11.46 has a mass of 0.120 kg. The distance of the puck from the center of rotation is originally 40.0 cm, and the puck is sliding with a speed of 80.0 cm/s. The string is pulled downward 15.0 cm through the hole in the frictionless table. Determine the work done on the puck. (Suggestion: Consider the change of kinetic energy.) Figure P11.46arrow_forwardA turntable with a mass of 12 kg and a radius of 1.8 meters spins at a constant angular velocity of 140 rpm. A 3-kg brick with a width of 15 cm and a depth of 30 cm falls onto the turntable, so the brick's center of mass is one meter away from the turntable's center. If there's no friction between the brick and turntable and they eventually 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 = MR² for rotation about its center of mass parallel to the z-axis. Iblock = M (W² + D²) for rotation about its center of mass parallel to the z-axis.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_forward
- Asap!!arrow_forwardTo test the speed of a bullet, you create a pendulum by attaching a 5.80 kg wooden block to the bottom of a 1.60 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 39.0°. What was the speed of the bullet?arrow_forwardA 100 g ball and a 200 g ball are connected by a 30 cm long massless, rigid rod. The balls rotate about their center of mass at 120 rpm. What is the speed of the 100 g ball?arrow_forward
- You have a cylinder. You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°. The mass of the cylinder is 450 g and its diameter is 2.1 cm.After you release the cylinder, it rolls down the ramp without slipping, gaining speed. How much total energy (in J)does the block have at the bottom of the ramp?arrow_forwardThere is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 14.9 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 1.28 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall? _____ m/s^2arrow_forwardWhen the electricity goes out on your campus, a backup source powers the servers that handle communications and the Internet. Rather than use batteries, many installations use a flywheel, a heavy rotating disk that spins, very rapidly, with nearly zero friction. An electric motor spins up the flywheel, which continues to spin with very little energy input. When the system needs to provide power, the flywheel’s motion is used to turn an electric generator. A typical system has a 540 kg cylinder with a radius of 0.30 m. A small electric motor provides a constant 2.8 N ⋅ m torque to spin up the cylinder. If the cylinder starts at rest, how long does it take to reach its final spin rate of 13,000 rpm?arrow_forward
- A school has installed a modestly-sized wind turbine. The three blades are 4.6 m long; each blade has a mass of 45 kg. You can assume that the blades are uniform along their lengths. When the blades spin at 240 rpm, what is the kinetic energy of the blade assembly?arrow_forwardWhile spinning down from 500.0 rpm to rest, a solid uniform flywheel does of work 51 KJ. If the radius of the disk is r=4m what is its mass? 0.46kg 4.7kg 4.4kg 10kg 5.2kgarrow_forwardTwo bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk= 0.60. What is Buzz's speed, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Buzz Crunchyarrow_forward
