Two disks are initially at rest, each of mass M, connected by a string between their centers, as shown in Figure 9.55. The disks slide on low-friction ice as the center of the string is pulled by a string with a constant force F through a distance d. The disks collide and stick together, having moved a distance b horizontally.

(a) What is the final speed of the stuck-together disks? (b) When the disks collide and stick together, their temperature rises Calculate the increase in internal energy of the disks assuming that the process is so fast that there is insufficient time for there to be much transfer of energy to the ice due to a temperature difference. (Also ignore the small amount of energy radiated away as sound produced in the collisions between the disks)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Thespeed of the disk is stuck together isFbM .

(b) The internal energy of the disk isFd-b.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The mass of the disk isM .
  • The string is pulled by a string with a constant force is F.
  • The string is pulled by string at constant force at a distance is d.
  • The disk collide and stick together move a distance isb .
02

Significance of term “translate”

The term "translate" in physics and mathematics refers to moving from one point to another. Translational motion is the most common type of motion we've studied at so far.

03

(a) Evaluation of the speed of struck-together

The total work done on disk is given as,

w=Fd

The translational kinetic energy of the disk is given as,

KEtrans=Fb

When the disk is collide and sticks together then the mass of the disk is together is 2M.

2M

So, the translational kinetic energy is given as,

KEtrans=12Mtv2

HereMt is the mass of the disk together; whose value is 2M.

Now equating translational kinetic energy, which is given as:

122Mv2=Fbv2=FbMv=FbM

Thus, the expression for the speed of the disk is stuck together is FbM.

04

(b) Evaluation of the internal energy of the disk

Using conservation of energy, the equation is given as,

∆Esys=W+Q

Here∆Esysis the energy of system, Q is the heat energy due to temperature difference.

Now,

KEtrans+∆Eint=W∆Eint=W-KEtrans

Substitutefor Fd for W, and Fb for KEtransin the above equation.

∆Eint=Fd-Fb=Fd-b

Thus, the expression for the increase in internal energy of the disk isFd-b.

Consider the voyage to the Moon that you studied in Chapter 3. Would it make any difference, even a very tiny difference, whether the spacecraft is long or short, if the mass is the same? Explain briefly.

Question: You hang by your hands from a tree limb that is a heightabove the ground, with your center of mass a heightabove the ground and your feet a heightabove the ground, as shown in Figure 9.56. You then let yourself fall. You absorb the shock by bending your knees, ending up momentarily at rest in a crouched position with your center of mass a heightabove the ground. Your mass is. You will need to draw labeled physics diagrams for the various stages in the process.

(a) What is the net internal energy change in your body (chemical plus thermal)? (b) What is your speedat the instant your feet first touch the ground? (c) What is the approximate average forceexerted by the ground on your feet when your knees are bending? (d) How much work is done by this force,?

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.

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 chain of metal links with total mass M = 7 kg is coiled up in a tight ball on a low-friction table (Figure 9.52). You pull on a link at one end of the chain with a constant force F= 50 N. Eventually the chain straightens out to its full length = 2.6 m. and you keep pulling until you have pulled your end of the chain a total distance d=4.5 m.

(a) Consider the point particle system. What is the speed of the chain at this instant? (b) Consider the extended system. What is the change in energy of the chain? (c) In straightening out, the links of the chain bang against each other, and their temperature rises. Assume that the process is so fast that there is insufficient time for significant transfer of energy from the chain to the table due to the temperature difference, and ignore the small amountof energy radiated away as sound produced in the collisions among the links. Calculate the increase in internal energy of the chain.
