Cheetahs running at top speed have been reported at an astounding114 k³¾/³ó(about71″¾¾±/³ó) by observers driving alongside the animals. Imagine trying to measure a cheetah’s speed by keeping your vehicle abreast of the animal while also glancing at your speedometer, which is registering114 k³¾/³ó. You keep the vehicle a constantfrom the cheetah, but the noise of the vehicle causes the cheetah to continuously veer away from you along a circular path of radius92″¾. Thus, you travel along a circular path of radius.100″¾ (a) What is the angular speed of you and the cheetah around the circular paths? (b) What is the linear speed of the cheetah along its path? (If you did not account for the circular motion, you would conclude erroneously that the cheetah’s speed is114 k³¾/³ó, and that type of error was apparently made in the published reports.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Angular speed of an observer and Cheetah around the circular paths is 0.32 r²¹»å/s.

b) Linear speed of Cheetah along it’s path is1.05×102 k³¾/h.

Step by step solution

01

Determining the concept

The rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time, is known as angular velocity. From velocity and radius of the path, find the angular speed of an observer and Cheetah around the circular paths using the corresponding formula for circular motion. From this, find the linear speed by using its relation with angular speed.

The angular velocity is given as-

Ó¬=vR

where, v is velocity, R is radius and Ó¬is angular frequency.

02

(a) Determining the angular speed of an observer and Cheetah around the circular paths

Speed of the observer is,
v=114kmh=114(518 m/s)=31.67 m/s.

Since, an observer is abreast of the Cheetah, bothhave the sameangular speed.

The angular speed of an observer and Cheetah around the circular paths is,

Ó¬=vr

Ó¬=31.67 m/s100″¾

Ó¬=0.32 r²¹»å/s

Hence, the angular speed of an observer and Cheetah around the circular paths is.Ó¬=0.32 r²¹»å/s

03

(b) Determining the linear speed of Cheetah along its paths

Linear speed of Cheetah along its path is,

v=RÓ¬=92″¾(0.32 r²¹»å/s)(185km/h)=1.05×102km/h

Hence, the linear speed of Cheetah along its paths is1.05×102 km/h.

In Fig. 10 - 37, two particles, each with mass m = 0.85KG , are fastened to each other, and to a rotation axis at O , by two thin rods, each with length d = 5.6cm and mass M = 1.2kg . The combination rotates around the rotation axis with the angular speed v = 0.30rad/s . Measured about O, what are the combination’s (a) rotational inertia and (b) kinetic energy?

A thin rod of length 0.75″¾ and mass0.42kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed4.0 r²¹»å/s . Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod’s kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises.

Figure 10 - 26shows a uniform metal plate that had been square before 25 %of it was snipped off. Three lettered points are indicated. Rank them according to the rotational inertia of the plate around a perpendicular axis through them, greatest first.

A uniform spherical shell of mass M=4.5kgand radius R=8.5cmcan r otate about a vertical axis on frictionless bearings (Fig.10-47). A massless cord passes around the equator of the shell, over a pulley of rotational inertia l=3.0×10-3kgm2and radius,r=5.0cmand is attached to a small object of mass .m=0.60kgThere is no friction on the pulley’s axle; the cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the object when it has fallen 82cmafter being released from rest? Use energy considerations.

A disk, initially rotating at 120 rads, is slowed down with a constant angular acceleration of magnitude 120 rads2.
