91Ó°ÊÓ

A sphere or cylinder of mass M, radius R and moment of inertia I rolls without slipping down a hill of height h, starting from rest. As explained in problem P.33, if there is no slipping Ó¬=vCM/R. (a) In terms of given variables (M,R,I and h), what is VCM at the bottom of hill? (b) If the object is a thin hollow cylinder, what is VCM at the bottom of hill? (c) If the object is a uniform density hollow cylinder, ), what isVCM at the bottom of hill? (d) If the object is a uniform density sphere what is VCM at the bottom of hill? An interesting experiment that you can perform that is to roll various objects down an inclined board and see how much time each one takes to reach the bottom.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the sphere or cylinder at the bottom of hill is 2MghR2I+MR2.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The angular velocity of object for rolling without slipping isÓ¬=vCMR

The mass of sphere or cylinder is M.

The radius of sphere or cylinder is R.

The moment of inertia of sphere or cylinder is I.

The height of hill is h.

02

Conceptual Explanation

The conservation of mechanical energy between top and bottom of the hill is used to find the speed of object at the bottom of hill.

03

Determination of velocity of object at the bottom of hill

Apply the conservation of mechanical energy between top and bottom of hill.

12Mu2+Mgh=12MvCM2+12IÓ¬2

Here, u is the speed of the object at top of hill and its value is 0 because object is at rest at top of hill.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

12M02+Mgh=12MvCM2+12IvCMR2Mgh=12MvCM2+12IvCM2R2vCM2=2MghR2I+MR2vCM=2MghR2I+MR2

Therefore, the speed of the sphere or cylinder at the bottom of hill is .2MghR2I+MR2

A box and its contents have a total massM. A string passes through a hole in the box (Figure9.57), and you pull on the string with a constant forceF(this is in outer space—there are no other forces acting).


(a) Initially the speed of the box wasvi. After the box had moved a long distancew, your hand had moved an additional distanced(a total distance ofw+d), because additional string of lengthdcame out of the box. What is now the speedviof the box? (b) If we could have looked inside the box, we would have seen that the string was wound around a hub that turns on an axle with negligible friction, as shown in Figure9.58. Three masses, each of mass, are attached to the hub at a distancerfrom the axle. Initially the angular speed relative to the axle wasÓ¬1. In terms of the given quantities, what is the final angular speed relative to the axis,Ó¬f?

A solid uniform-density sphere is tied to a rope and moves in a circle with speed v. The distance from the center of the circle to the center of the sphere is d, the mass of the sphere is M, and the radius of the sphere is R. (a) What is the angular speed Ó¬? (b) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere? (c) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?

A string is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M and radius R. Attached to the disk are four low-mass rods of radius b, each with a small mass m at the end (Figure 9.63).

The apparatus is initially at rest on a nearly frictionless surface. Then you pull the string with a constant force F. At the instant when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, an additional length w of string has unwound off the disk. (a) At this instant, what is the speed of the center of the apparatus? Explain your approach. (b) At this instant, what is the angular speed of the apparatus? Explain your approach.

Under what conditions does the energy equation for the point particle system differ from the energy equation for the extended system? Give two examples of such a situation. Give one example of a situation where the two equations look exactly alike.

You hold up an object that consists of two blocks at rest, each of massM=5kg, connected by a low-mass spring. Then you suddenly start applying a larger upward force of constant magnitudeF=167N(which is greater than2Mg). Figure9.60shows the situation some time later, when the blocks have moved upward, and the spring stretch has increased.

The heights of the centers of the two blocks are as follows:

Initial and final positions of block 1:y1i=0.3m,y1f=0.5m

Initial and final positions of block 2:y2i=0.7m,y2f=1.2m

It helps to show these heights on a diagram. Note that the initial center of mass of the two blocks isy1i+y1i/2, and the final center of mass of the two blocks isrole="math" localid="1656911769231" y1f+y1f/2. (a) Consider the point particle system corresponding to the two blocks and the spring. Calculate the increase in the total translational kinetic energy of the two blocks. It is important to draw a diagram showing all of the forces that are acting, and through what distance each force acts. (b) Consider the extended system corresponding to the two blocks and the spring. Calculate the increase of(Kvib+Us), the vibrational kinetic energy of the two blocks (their kinetic energy relative to the center of mass) plus the potential energy of the spring. It is important to draw a diagram showing all of the forces that are acting, and through what distance each force acts.
