A sled starts from rest at the top of the frictionless, hemispherical, snow-covered hill shown in FIGURE CP10.74.

a. Find an expression for the sled鈥檚 speed when it is at angle .

b. Use Newton鈥檚 laws to find the maximum speed the sled can have at angle without leaving the surface.

c. At what angle maxdoes the sled 鈥渇ly off鈥 the hill?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Expression for the sled's speed is found to be v1=2gR(1-cos).

(b) The maximum speed the sled can have at an angle isvmax=gRcos

(c) The angle at which the sled flies off the hill max=48.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

The following figure is given.

02

Explanation (part a)

Apply the conservation energy equation at the initial position of the sled and when the sled is at an angle . Consider the velocity of the sled when it is at an angle is v1. The initial velocityv0=0

K1+U1=K0+U012mv12+mgy1=12mv02+mgy0cos=y1Ry1=Rcosv0=012mv12+mgRcos=12m0+mgR12mv12+mgRcos=mgR12mv12=mgR-mgRcosv12=2(gR-gRcos)v1=2gR(1-cos)

03

Given information (part b)

The following figure is given.

04

Explanation (part b)

According to Newton's law, the net force on the sled is

Fnet=ma

The acceleration of the sled while moving on the hill

a=v2R

The force acting on the sled is normal force (n) and force due to gravity along the axis. Therefore the net force, role="math" localid="1649389914026" Fnet=mgcos-nma=mgcos-nSubstitute(1)inequation(2)mv2R=mgcos-nn=mgcos-mv2R

The normal force (n) decreases as v increases. If n=0 the sled leaves the hill. But n can't be negative, so the fastest speed at which the sled stays on the hill is the speed The maximum speedvmaxof the sled at which it stays on the hill is when n0.

Therefore the maximum speed of the sled is

localid="1649390700811" vmax=gRcos

05

Given information (part c)

The following figure is given.

06

Explanation (part c)

The speed of the sled at max=2gR(1-cosmax)(1)

The maximum speed of the sled at max=gRcos(2)

Equate the equation 1and 2

2gR(1-cosmax)=gRcosmaxSquaringonbothsides2gR(1-cosmax)=gRcosmax21-cosmax=cosmax2-2cosmax=cosmax2=cosmax+2cosmax2=3cosmaxcosmax=23max=cos-123max=48
