34. II A speck of dust on a spinning DVD has a centripetal acceleration of 20m/s2.

a. What is the acceleration of a different speck of dust that is twice as far from the center of the disk?

b. What would be the acceleration of the first speck of dust if the disk's angular velocity was doubled?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The acceleration of the second speck of dust is 40m/s2.

Part (b) The acceleration of the first speck of dust when the disk's angular velocity was doubled is 80m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)  Step 1. Given information

The centripetal acceleration of a speck of dust on a spinning DVD is 20m/s2, the radius of rotation of the different dust is twice as far from the centre of the disk.

02

Part (a)  Step 2. Explanation

The centripetal acceleration of the first dust is,

a1=rÓ¬2

Substitute 20m/s2for a1in the above equation to find rÓ¬2.

rÓ¬2=20m/s2

The centripetal acceleration of the second dust is,

a2=r2Ó¬2(I)

It is given that the radius of rotation of the different dust is twice as far from the centre of the disk. Thus r=2r

Substitute 2r forr2in the equation (I) to find a2.

a2=(2r)Ó¬2=2rÓ¬2

Substitute 20m/s2for rÓ¬2in the above equation to find a2.

a2=220m/s2=40m/s2

Thus, the acceleration of the second speck of dust is 40m/s2.

03

Part (b). Step 1 Given information

The centripetal acceleration of a speck of dust on a spinning DVD is 20m/s2.

04

Part (b)  Step 2. Explanation

The centripetal acceleration of the first dust is,

a3=rÓ¬32

It is given that the angular acceleration of the dust is doubled from the initial. Thus,

Ó¬3=2Ó¬Substitute 2Ó¬1for Ó¬3in the equation (II) to find a3.

a3=r(2Ó¬)2=4rÓ¬2

Substitute20m/s2for rÓ¬2in the above equation to find a3.

a3=420m/s2=80m/s2

Thus, the acceleration of the first speck of dust when the disk's angular velocity was doubled is80m/s2.

A cannon on a train car fires a projectile to the right with speed v0, relative to the train, from a barrel elevated at angle u. The cannon fires just as the train, which had been cruising to the right along a level track with speedvtrain, begins to accelerate with acceleration a, which can be either positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down). Find an expression for the angle at which the projectile should be fired so that it lands as far as possible from the cannon. You can ignore the small height of the cannon above the track.
