Chapter 8: 8-16Q (page 198)

When a motorcyclist leaves the ground on a jump and leaves the throttle on (so the rear wheel spins), why does the front of the cycle rise up?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The front wheel of the cycle rises up to conserve the angular momentum.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding torque and conservation of momentum

In this problem, the momentum of the total system is conserved as the motorcycle leaves the ground. Also, in this situation, the total torque is equal to zero.

02

Direction of the motorcycle

When a motorcycle is leaving the ground level, and its throttle is on, its rear wheel will rotate faster because there is no torque acting on it. So, in conserving the angular momentum of the motorcycle, the front wheel should rise in the direction opposite to the rear wheel.

(II) A rotating uniform cylindrical platform of mass 220 kg and radius 5.5 m slows down from to rest in 16 s when the driving motor is disconnected. Estimate the power output of the motor (hp) required to maintain a steady speed of\({\bf{3}}{\bf{.8 }}rev/s\).

Question:(II) A nonrotating cylindrical disk of moment of inertia I is dropped onto an identical disk rotating at angular speed\(\omega \). Assuming no external torques, what is the final common angular speed of the two disks?

Suppose David puts a 0.60-kg rock into a sling of length 1.5 m and begins whirling the rock in a nearly horizontal circle, accelerating it from rest to a rate of 75 rpm after 5.0 s. What is the torque required to achieve this feat, and where does the torque come from?

Calculate the moment of inertia of an align of point objects, as shown in Fig. 8鈥�47 about (a) the y axis and (b) the x-axis. Assume two masses, \(m = 2.2\;{\rm{kg}}\)and \(M = 3.4\;{\rm{kg}}\), and the objects are wired together by very light, rigid pieces of wire. The align is rectangular and split through the middle by the x-axis. (c) About which axis would it be harder to accelerate this align?
