Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as,

  • The velocity of the solid-uniform density sphere is v.
  • The distance from the center of the circle to the center of the sphere is d.
  • The sphere’s mass is M.
  • The sphere’s radius is R.
02

Significance of the moment of inertia of the sphere

The moment of inertia for a body state that the force that a body exhibits while rotating about an axis is due to the application of a turning force which is torque.

The equation of the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere can be expressed as,

K.ER=12IӬ2 …(1)

Here, l is the moment of inertia of the sphere and Ó¬is the angular velocity of the sphere.

The equation of the translational kinetic energy of the sphere is be expressed as,

K.ET=12Mv2 .....(2)

Here, M is the mass of the sphere and v is the velocity of the sphere at center of mass of the sphere.

03

Determination of the angular speed (a)

The equation of the angular speed can be expressed as,

Ó¬=vr

Here, v is the velocity and r is the distance of the centre of the circle to the centre of the sphere.

For r = d,

Ó¬=vd

Thus, the angular speed is Ó¬=vd.

04

Determination of the rotational energy (b)

The expression for the moment of inertia of the sphere is expressed as,

l=25MR2

Here, M is the mass of the sphere and R is the radius of the sphere.

For l=25MR2and Ó¬=vdin equation (1).

K.ER=12×25MR2×vd2=1225MR2vd2

Thus, the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is 1225MR2vd2.

05

Determination of the total kinetic energy (c)

For v=Ó¬din equation (2).

K.ET=12MÓ¬d2=12Md2

The expression for the total kinetic energy is expressed as,

K.E=K.ET+K.ER

For K.ET=12Md2andER=1225MR2vd2.

K.E=12Md2+1225MR2vd2=12Md2+25MR2vd2

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the sphere is 12Md2+25MR2×vd2.

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?

String is wrapped around an object of mass M and moment of inertia I (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 ay0-y0; nothing but the vertical string touches the object.


When your hand is a heighty0above the floor, the object has an angular speedÓ¬0. When your hand has risen to a height y above the floor, what is the angular speedÓ¬of the object? Your result should not containFor the (unknown) radius of the object. Explain the physics principles you are using.

A thin uniform-density rod whose mass is 1.2kg and whose length is 0.7mrotates around an axis perpendicular to the rod, with angular speed 50radians/s. Its center moves with a speed of 8m/s.

(a) What is its rotational kinetic energy?

(b) What is its total kinetic energy?

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)

A string is wrapped around a disk of mass 2.1 kg (its density is not necessarily uniform). Starting from rest, you pull the string with a constant force of 9 N along a nearly frictionless surface. At the instant when the center of the disk has moved a distance 0.11 m, your hand has moved a distance of 0.28 m (Figure 9.51).


(a) At this instant, what is the speed of the center of mass of the disk? (b) At this instant, how much rotational kinetic energy does the disk have relative to its center of mass? (c) At this instant, the angular speed of the disk is 75 rad/s. What is the moment of inertia of the disk?
