The tires on a new compact car have a diameter of \(2.0 \mathrm{ft}\) and are warranted for 60000 miles. (a) Determine the angle (in radians) through which one of these tires will rotate during the warranty period. (b) How many revolutions of the tire are equivalent to your answer in part (a)?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The tire rotates through \(316800000\pi\) radians or makes \(158400000\) revolutions during the warranty period.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the circumference of the tire

The diameter of the tire is 2 feet. Therefore, its radius is 1 foot. The circumference of the tire can be found using formula for circumference of a circle which is \(2\pi r \). Hence, the circumference of the tire is \(2\pi \times 1 = 2\pi\) feet.
02

Calculate the total rotation angle

The warranty for the tires is 60000 miles. Convert this distance into feet: \(1\) mile \(=5280\) feet, hence \(60000\) miles \(=60000 \times 5280\) feet. The rotation angle in radians is equal to the total distance traveled divided by the radius of the tire. So rotation angle \(=\frac{60000 \times 5280}{1}=316800000 \pi\) radians.
03

Calculate number of revolutions

The rotation angle in number of full revolutions is obtained by dividing the total rotation angle by \(2\pi\). Hence the number of revolutions \(=\frac{316800000\pi}{2\pi}=158400000\) revolutions.

An athlete swings a \(5.00-\mathrm{kg}\) ball horizontally on the end of a rope. The ball moves in a circle of radius \(0.800 \mathrm{~m}\) at an angular speed of \(0.500 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}\). What are (a) the tangential speed of the ball and (b) its centripetal acceleration? (c) If the maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is \(100 \mathrm{~N}\), what is the maximum tangential speed the ball can have?

Q|C A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tan- gentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically \(54.0\) cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises \(51.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) above the tan- gent point. The radius of the wheel is \(0.381 \mathrm{~m}\). (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheel's angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant).

A stuntman whose mass is \(70 \mathrm{~kg}\) swings from the end of a \(4.0-\mathrm{m}-\mathrm{long}\) rope along the arc of a vertical circle. Assuming he starts from rest when the rope is horizontal, find the tensions in the rope that are required to make him follow his circular path (a) at the beginning of his motion, (b) at a height of \(1.5 \mathrm{~m}\) above the bottom of the circular arc, and (c) at the bottom of the arc.

A sample of blood is placed in a centrifuge of radius \(15.0 \mathrm{~cm}\). The mass of a red blood cell is \(3.0 \times\) \(10^{-16} \mathrm{~kg}\), and the magnitude of the force acting on it as it settles out of the plasma is \(4.0 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~N}\). At how many revolutions per second should the centrifuge be operated?

An air puck of mass \(m_{1}=0.25 \mathrm{~kg}\) is tied to a string and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius \(R=1.0 \mathrm{~m}\) on a frictionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of \(m_{2}=1.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) is tied to it (Fig. P7.27). The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves. (a) What is the tension in the string? (b) What is the horizontal force acting on the puck? (c) What is the speed of the puck? the horizontal force acting on the puck? (c) What is the the horizontal force acting on the puck? (c) What is the speed of the puck?
