A uniform-density sphere whose mass is and radius is makes one complete rotation every. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere?
A runner whose mass is 50 kgaccelerates from a stop to a speed of10 m / s in 3 s. (A good sprinter can run100 m in about 10 s, with an average speed of 10 m / s.) (a) What is the average horizontal component of the force that the ground exerts on the runner’s shoes? (b) How much displacement is there of the force that acts on the sole of the runner’s shoes, assuming that there is no slipping? Therefore, how much work is done on the extended system (the runner) by the force you calculated in the previous exercise? How much work is done on the point particle system by this force? (c) The kinetic energy of the runner increases—what kind of energy decreases? By how much?
Consider the acceleration of a car on dry pavement, if there is no slipping. The axle moves at speed v, and the outside of the tire moves at a speed relative to the axle. The instantaneous velocity of the bottom of the tire is zero. How much work is done by the force exerted on the tire by the road? What is the source of the energy that increases the car’s translational kinetic energy?
A solid uniform-density sphere is tied to a rope and moves in a circle with speed . The distance from the center of the circle to the center of the sphere is , the mass of the sphere is , and the radius of the sphere is . (a) What is the angular speed ? (b) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere? (c) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?
