FIGURE P8.54 shows a small block of mass m sliding around the inside of an L-shaped track of radius r. The bottom of the track is frictionless; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall of the track is µk,The block's speed is vo at to =0 Find an expression for the block's speed at a later time t.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expression for the velocity at time t is vt=(vor)(voμkt+r)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

mass= m

radius= r

The bottom of the track is frictionless

coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall of the track is µk,

speed is vo at to =0

02

Explanation

Centripetal force is given by

Fc=mv2r
where m = mass, v = velocity and r = radius.
Frictional force is µkN

Where µk,= coefficient of friction and N is Normal force

From the Newton's second law, we know

mdvdt=-μk(mv2r)dvdt=-μkv2r

Now integrate and find vt

∫v0vt-dvv2=∫0tμkdtr1vt-1v0=μktr1vt=μktr+1v0vt=vorvoμkt+r

A charged particle of mass m moving with speed v in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a force where q is the amount of charge and F⃗=(qvB,perpendiculartov⃗) , B is the magnetic field strength. Because the force is always perpendicular to the particle’s velocity, the particle undergoes uniform circular motion. Find an expression for the period of the motion. Gravity can be neglected.

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.0-m-high, 20°ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as he starts up the ramp. He is going 11m/sat that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient 0.02) is not negligible. Does he survive, or does he become crocodile food? Justify your answer by calculating the distance he travels through the air after leaving the end of the ramp.

The father of Example 8.2 stands at the summit of a conical hill as he spins his 20 kg child around on a 5.0 kg cart with a 2.0-m-long rope. The sides of the hill are inclined at 20o­. He
again keeps the rope parallel to the ground, and friction is negligible. What rope tension will allow the cart to spin with the same 14 rpm it had in the example?

If a vertical cylinder of water (or any other liquid) rotates about its axis, as shown in FIGURE CP8.71, the surface forms a smooth curve. Assuming that the water rotates as a unit (i.e., all the water rotates with the same angular velocity), show that the shape of the surface is a parabola described by the equationz=Ó¬22gr2

Hint: Each particle of water on the surface is subject to only two forces: gravity and the normal force due to the water underneath it. The normal force, as always, acts perpendicular to the surface.

A 100 g ball on a 60-cm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cm above the floor. The string suddenly breaks when it is parallel to the ground and the ball is moving
upward. The ball reaches a height 600 cm above the floor. What was the tension in the string an instant before it broke?
