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?

Significance of the work-energy theorem and the angular motion

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object is the same as that of the change in kinetic energy of the object.

The law of angular motion states that a body will continue to rotate with a constant angular speed unless an external torque acts on it.

The work-energy theorem gives the final speed and the law of angular motion gives the final angular speed of the box.

03

(a) Determination of the final speed of the box

The equation of work done in the box is expressed as,

W=12Mv2f-12Mvi2F.d=12M(v2f-vi2)

Here,M is the total mass of the box,vf is the final velocity of the box, vIand is the initial velocity of the box.

Substitute w for din the above expression.

F.w=12Mvf2-vi2F.w+12Mvi2=12Mvi2vf2=F.w+12Mvi212Mvf=F.w+12Mvi212M=2FwM+vi2

Thus, the speed of the box is 2FwM+vi2.

04

(b) Determination of the final angular speed of the box

The expression for the final angular speed of the box can be expressed as,

Ó¬=vr

Here,v is the final velocity and ris the distance of the masses from the axle.

Substitute all the values in the above expression

Ó¬=2FwM+vi2r

Substitute for and for in the above expression.

Ó¬=2FwM+vi2r=2Fd3mr2+vi2ri2=2Fd3mr2+Ó¬i2

Thus, the final angular speed relative to the axis is2Fd3mr2+Ó¬i2.

Most popular questions from this chapter

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.235 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.18 m, the yo-yo moves down a distance 0.70 m. The mass of the yo-yo is 0.025 kg, and it was initially moving downward with speed 0.5 m/s and angular speed 124 rad/s. (a) What is the increase in the translational kinetic energy of the yo-yo? (b) What is the new speed of the yo-yo? (c) What is the increase in the rotational kinetic energy of the yo-yo? (d) The yo-yo is approximately a uniform-density disk of radius 0.02 m. What is the new angular speed of the yo-yo?

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,?

String is wrapped around an object of mass 1.5kg and moment of inertia 0.0015kg-m2(the density of the object is not uniform). With your hand you pull the string straight up with some constant force F such that the center of the object does not move up or down, but the object spins faster and faster (Figure 9.62). This is like a yo-yo; nothing but the vertical string touches the object. When your hand is a height y0=0.25mabove the floor, the object has an angular speed Ó¬0=12rad/s. When your hand has risen to a height y=0.35m above the floor, what is the angular speed of the object? Your answer must be numeric and not contain the symbol F.

Consider a system consisting of three particles:

m1=2kg,v→1=(8,-6,15)m/sm2=6kg,v→2=(-12,9,-6)m/sm3=4kg,v→3=(-24,34,23)m/s

What isKrel, the kinetic energy of this system relative to the centre of mass?

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)
