A 10 g bullet traveling at 400 m/s strikes a 10 kg, 1.0-m-wide door at the edge opposite the hinge. The bullet embeds itself in the door, causing the door to swing open. What is the angular velocity of the door just after impact?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Angular velocity of the door just after the impact is = 1.2 rad / sec

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of bullet = 10 gm = 0.01kg

speed of bullet = 400 m/sec

mass of door = 10 kg.

width of door = 1 m

bullet hits at edge of the door

02

Explanation

Use conservation of momentum.

Initially momentum of door =0

momentum of bullet is total momentum

Li= mvbrb ...................................................(1)

where m = mass of bullet, vb = velocity of bullet, rb =1 m

Substitute the value we get

Li= (0.01 kg) (400 m/s) (1 m) = 4kgm2/s

Assume bullet get stuck in the door and traveling with door.

Momentum after strike is

Lf=IfÓ¬Lf=Id+IbÓ¬................................(2)

Now find the inertia

moment of inertia of the door =Id=13Mr2
and moment of inertia of the bullet =Ib=mr2

Substitute the values in equation(2), we get

Lf=13Mr2+mr2ӬLf=13×10kg×(1m)2+(0.01kg)(1m)2Ӭ=3.34kgm2Ӭ………………(2a)

Equate initial momentum and final momentum, we get

3.34 Ó¬ = 4kgm2/s

Ó¬ = 1.197 rad/s = 1.2 rad/s

Your engineering team has been assigned the task of measuring the properties of a new jet-engine turbine. You’ve previously determined that the turbine’s moment of inertia is 2.6 kg m2. The next job is to measure the frictional torque of the bearings. Your plan is to run the turbine up to a predetermined rotation speed, cut the power, and time how long it takes the turbine to reduce its rotation speed by 50,. Your data are given in the table. Draw an appropriate graph of the data and, from the slope of the best-fit line, determine the frictional torque.

A 75 g, 30-cm-long rod hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axle passing through its center. A 10 g ball of clay traveling horizontally at 2.5 m/s hits and sticks to the very
bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod (with the attached ball of clay) rotate?

A 30-cm-diameter, 1.2 kg solid turntable rotates on a 1.2-cm-diameter, 450 g shaft at a constant 33 rpm. When you hit the stop switch, a brake pad presses against the shaft and brings the turntable to a halt in 15 seconds. How much friction force does the brake pad apply to the shaft?

The three masses shown in FIGURE EX12.15 are connected by massless, rigid rods.

a. Find the coordinates of the center of mass.

b. Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through mass A and is perpendicular to the page.

c. Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through masses B and C.

A thin, uniform rod of length L and mass M is placed vertically on a horizontal table. If tilted ever so slightly, the rod will fall over.
a. What is the speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table if there’s so much friction that the bottom tip of the rod does not slide?
b. What is the speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table if the table is frictionless?
