Chapter 8: 8-3MCQ (page 198)

A car speedometer that is supposed to read the linear speed of the car uses a device that actually measures the angular speed of the tires. If larger-diameter tires are mounted on the car instead, how will that affect the speedometer reading? The speedometer

(a) will still read the speed accurately.

(b) will read low.

(c) will read high

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option (b) will read low.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the speed measured by the speedometer

In this problem, the speedometer device is used to measure the speed of the car. One of the important points is that the variation in the radius of the tire does not affect the speed measured by the speedometer.

02

Angular speed of the car

The relation of angular speed is given by:

\(v = r\omega \)

Here, r is the radius of the wheel and \(\omega \) is the angular speed.

When the tires of the car have identical angular speed, increasing the diameter of the tires will cause them to move faster than with the smaller diameter of tires.

Thus, option (b) is the correct answer.

Question:(I) (a) What is the angular momentum of a figure skater spinning at 3 rev/s with arms in close to her body, assuming her to be a uniform cylinder with a height of 1.5 m, a radius of 15 cm, and a mass of 48 kg? (b) How much torque is required to slow her to a stop in 4.0 s, assuming she does not move her arms?

A wheel of mass M has radius R. It is standing vertically on the floor, and we want to exert a horizontal force F at its axle so that it will climb a step against which it rests (Fig. 8鈥�60). The step has height h, where h < R. What minimum force F is needed?

Determine the moment of inertia of a 10.8-kg sphere of radius 0.648 m when the axis of rotation is through its center.

A solid sphere of a 0.72 m diameter can be rotated about an axis through its center by a torque, which accelerates it uniformly from rest through a total of 160 revolutions in 15.0 s. What is the mass of the sphere?

The radius of the roll of paper shown in Fig. 8鈥�67 is 7.6 cm and its moment of inertia is \(I = 3.3 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}\). A force of 3.5 N is exerted on the end of the roll for 1.3 s, but the paper does not tear so it begins to unroll. A constant friction torque of \(I = 0.11\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {\rm{N}}\) is exerted on the roll which gradually brings it to a stop. Assuming that the paper鈥檚 thickness is negligible, calculate (a) the length of paper that unrolls during the time that the force is applied (1.3 s) and (b) the length of paper that unrolls from the time the force ends to the time when the roll has stopped moving
