The rotor of an electric motor has rotational inertia Im=2.0×10−3kgm2about its central axis. The motor is used to change the orientation of the space probe in which it is mounted. The motor axis is mounted along the central axis of the probe; the probe has rotational inertiarole="math" localid="1660985808865" Ip=12kg.m2about this axis. Calculate the number of revolutions of the rotor required to turn the probe through30°about its central axis.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of revolutions of the rotor required to turn the probe through30° about its central axis are 5.0×102.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. The rotational inertia of electric motor is,Im=2.0×10−3kg.m2
  2. The rotational inertia of probe is,Ip=12kg.m2.
  3. The angle through which the probe is rotated is,θp=30°
02

To understand the concept

Using the conservation law of the angular momentum we can find the angle through which the motor is rotated. As in one rotation the motor is rotated through 360°, we can find the number of revolutions for the angle through which the motor is rotated.

Formula:

The law of conservation of angular momentum,Li=Lf

±õθ=∫±õÓ¬

03

Calculate the number of revolutions

The law of conservation of angular momentum gives

Li=LfImӬm=IpӬpImθm=Ipθp

(AsImθm=∫ImӬmdtandIpθp=∫IpӬpdt)

θm=IpθpIm

θm=12×302×10−3θm=180000°

So, the no. of revolutions of the rotor is

N=θm/(360°/rev)N=180000°/(360°/rev)N=500rev

Therefore, the no. of revolutions of the rotor is5.0×102.

Question: Figure shows the potential energy U (x) of a solid ball that can roll along an xaxis. The scale on the Uaxis is set by Us =100j. The ball is uniform, rolls smoothly, and has a mass of 0.400 kgIt is released at x = 7.0 mheaded in the negative direction of the xaxis with a mechanical energy of 75 J (a) If the ball can reach x = 0 m, what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its turning point? Suppose, instead, it is headed in the positive direction of the xaxis when it is released at x = 7.0 m with 75J(b) If the ball can reach x = 13m, what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its turning point?
