Chapter 10: Problem 12

You are unwinding a large spool of cable. As you pull on the cable with a constant tension, what happens to the angular acceleration and angular velocity of the spool, assuming that the radius at which you are extracting the cable remains constant and there is no friction force? a) Both increase as the spool unwinds. b) Both decrease as the spool unwinds. c) Angular acceleration increases, and angular velocity decreases. d) Angular acceleration decreases, and angular velocity increases. e) It is impossible to tell.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: Both increase as the spool unwinds.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the given information and the required variables

Given: - Constant tension on the cable - Radius of the spool remains constant - No friction force Required to find: The effect on angular acceleration and angular velocity as the spool unwinds.
02

Calculate the torque acting on the spool

Since the tension T on the cable is constant, the torque 蟿 acting on the spool can be calculated as: 蟿 = T * R where R is the constant radius of the spool.
03

Calculate the moment of inertia of the spool

The moment of inertia I of the spool can be calculated as: I = k * M * R^2 where M is the mass of thespool, and k is a constant depending on the shape of the spool. As the spool unwinds, its mass decreases. Thus, the moment of inertia I of the spool also decreases.
04

Calculate the angular acceleration of the spool

Using Newton's second law for rotational motion, we have: 蟿 = I * 伪 where 伪 is the angular acceleration of the spool. Since 蟿 remains constant, as the moment of inertia I decreases, the angular acceleration 伪 of the spool must increase to maintain the equality. Therefore, the angular acceleration of the spool increases as it unwinds.
05

Calculate the angular velocity of the spool

The relationship between angular acceleration 伪, angular velocity 蠅, and time t is given by: 蠅 = 蠅0 + 伪*t where 蠅鈧� is the initial angular velocity. As we have established that angular acceleration 伪 increases with time and that 伪 is positive (since we are unwinding the spool), the final angular velocity 蠅 will also increase with time.
06

Determine the correct answer from the given options

Based on our analysis, both the angular acceleration and the angular velocity of the spool increase as it unwinds. Therefore, the correct choice is: a) Both increase as the spool unwinds.

Many pulsars radiate radio frequency or other radiation in a periodic manner and are bound to a companion star in what is known as a binary pulsar system. In \(2004,\) a double pulsar system, PSR J0737-3039A and J0737-3039B, was discovered by astronomers at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in the United Kingdom. In this system, both stars are pulsars. The pulsar with the faster rotation period rotates once every \(0.023 \mathrm{~s}\), while the other pulsar has a rotation period of \(2.8 \mathrm{~s}\). The faster pulsar has a mass 1.337 times that of the Sun, while the slower pulsar has a mass 1.250 times that of the Sun. a) If each pulsar has a radius of \(20.0 \mathrm{~km}\), express the ratio of their rotational kinetic energies. Consider each star to be a uniform sphere with a fixed rotation period. b) The orbits of the two pulsars about their common center of mass are rather eccentric (highly squashed ellipses), but an estimate of their average translational kinetic energy can be obtained by treating each orbit as circular with a radius equal to the mean distance from the system's center of mass. This radius is equal to \(4.23 \cdot 10^{8} \mathrm{~m}\) for the larger star, and \(4.54 \cdot 10^{8} \mathrm{~m}\) for the smaller star. If the orbital period is \(2.4 \mathrm{~h},\) calculate the ratio of rotational to translational kinetic energies for each star.

In a tire-throwing competition, a man holding a \(23.5-\mathrm{kg}\) car tire quickly swings the tire through three full turns and releases it, much like a discus thrower. The tire starts from rest and is then accelerated in a circular path. The orbital radius \(r\) for the tire's center of mass is \(1.10 \mathrm{~m},\) and the path is horizontal to the ground. The figure shows a top view of the tire's circular path, and the dot at the center marks the rotation axis. The man applies a constant torque of \(20.0 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}\) to accelerate the tire at a constant angular acceleration. Assume that all of the tire's mass is at a radius \(R=0.35 \mathrm{~m}\) from its center. a) What is the time, \(t_{\text {throw }}\) required for the tire to complete three full revolutions? b) What is the final linear speed of the tire's center of mass (after three full revolutions)? c) If, instead of assuming that all of the mass of the tire is at a distance \(0.35 \mathrm{~m}\) from its center, you treat the tire as a hollow disk of inner radius \(0.30 \mathrm{~m}\) and outer radius \(0.40 \mathrm{~m}\), how does this change your answers to parts (a) and (b)?

In experiments at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, a plasma of hydrogen atoms is heated to over 500 million degrees Celsius (about 25 times hotter than the center of the Sun) and confined for tens of milliseconds by powerful magnetic fields \((100,000\) times greater than the Earth's magnetic field). For each experimental run, a huge amount of energy is required over a fraction of a second, which translates into a power requirement that would cause a blackout if electricity from the normal grid were to be used to power the experiment. Instead, kinetic energy is stored in a colossal flywheel, which is a spinning solid cylinder with a radius of \(3.00 \mathrm{~m}\) and mass of \(1.18 \cdot 10^{6} \mathrm{~kg}\). Electrical energy from the power grid starts the flywheel spinning, and it takes 10.0 min to reach an angular speed of \(1.95 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\). Once the flywheel reaches this angular speed, all of its energy can be drawn off very quickly to power an experimental run. What is the mechanical energy stored in the flywheel when it spins at \(1.95 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) ? What is the average torque required to accelerate the flywheel from rest to \(1.95 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) in \(10.0 \mathrm{~min} ?\)

A child builds a simple cart consisting of a \(60.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) by \(1.20 \mathrm{~m}\) sheet of plywood of mass \(8.00 \mathrm{~kg}\) and four wheels, each \(20.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) in diameter and with a mass of \(2.00 \mathrm{~kg}\). It is released from the top of a \(15.0^{\circ}\) incline that is \(30.0 \mathrm{~m}\) long. Find the speed at the bottom. Assume that the wheels roll along the incline without slipping and that friction between the wheels and their axles can be neglected.

A round body of mass \(M\), radius \(R,\) and moment of inertia \(I\) about its center of mass is struck a sharp horizontal blow along a line at height \(h\) above its center (with \(0 \leq h \leq R,\) of course). The body rolls away without slipping immediately after being struck. Calculate the ratio \(I /\left(M R^{2}\right)\) for this body.
