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.

A rod of length Land negligible mass is attached to a uniform disk of mass Mand radius R (Figure 9.64). A string is wrapped around the disk, and you pull on the string with a constant force F . Two small balls each of mass mslide along the rod with negligible friction. The apparatus starts from rest, and when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, a length of string shas come off the disk, and the balls have collided with the ends of the rod and stuck there. The apparatus slides on a nearly frictionless table. Here is a view from above:

(a) At this instant, what is the speed vof the center of the disk? (b) At this instant the angular speed of the disk isÓ¬ . How much internal energy change has there been?

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 M, the mass of the sphere is, and the radius of the sphere is R. (a) What is the angular speedÓ¬? (b) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere? (c) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?

A cylindrical rod of uniform density is located with its center at the origin, and its axis along the x axis. It rotates about its center in the xy plane, making one revolution every 0.03 s. rod has a radius of 0.08 m, length of 0.7 m, and mass of 5 kg. It makes one revolution every 0.03 s. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the rod?

A uniform-density disk of mass 13 kg, thickness 0.5 m. and radius 0.2 m make one complete rotation every 0.6 s. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the disk?

A runner whose mass is 50kg accelerates from a stop to a speed of 10m/s in 3s. (A good sprinter can run 100m in about 10s, with an average speed of 10m/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?
