Chapter 10: Problem 7

Consider a cylinder and a hollow cylinder, rotating about an axis going through their centers of mass. If both objects have the same mass and the same radius, which object will have the larger moment of inertia? a) The moment of inertia will be the same for both objects. b) The solid cylinder will have the larger moment of inertia because its mass is uniformly distributed. c) The hollow cylinder will have the larger moment of inertia because its mass is located away from the axis of rotation.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Explain your answer. Answer: The hollow cylinder will have a larger moment of inertia because its mass is located away from the axis of rotation. The moment of inertia of the solid cylinder is half the moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder.

Step by step solution

01

Recall the moment of inertia formulas for solid and hollow cylinders

To compare the moment of inertia of both objects, we need to recall their formulas. The moment of inertia (I) of a solid cylinder is given by: \[I_\text{solid} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2,\] where M is the mass of the cylinder and R is its radius. For a hollow cylinder, the moment of inertia is given by: \[I_\text{hollow} = MR^2.\]
02

Compare the moment of inertia formulas

Now, we can compare the moments of inertia of the solid and hollow cylinders: \[\frac{I_\text{solid}}{I_\text{hollow}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}MR^2}{MR^2} = \frac{1}{2},\] meaning that the moment of inertia of the solid cylinder is half the moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder.
03

Choose the correct answer

Since the moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder is larger than that of the solid cylinder, the correct answer is (c) The hollow cylinder will have the larger moment of inertia because its mass is located away from the axis of rotation.

It is harder to move a door if you lean against it (along the plane of the door) toward the hinge than if you lean against the door perpendicular to its plane. Why is this so?

A professor doing a lecture demonstration stands at the center of a frictionless turntable, holding 5.00 -kg masses in each hand with arms extended so that each mass is \(1.20 \mathrm{~m}\) from his centerline. A (carefully selected!) student spins the professor up to a rotational speed of \(1.00 \mathrm{rpm} .\) If he then pulls his arms in by his sides so that each mass is \(0.300 \mathrm{~m}\) from his centerline, what is his new rotation rate? Assume that his rotational inertia without the masses is \(2.80 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), and neglect the effect on the rotational inertia of the position of his arms, since their mass is small compared to the mass of the body.

An ice skater rotating on frictionless ice brings her hands into her body so that she rotates faster. Which, if any, of the conservation laws hold? a) conservation of mechanical energy and conservation of angular momentum b) conservation of mechanical energy only c) conservation of angular momentum only d) neither conservation of mechanical energy nor conservation of angular momentum

Using the conservation of mechanical energy, calculate the final speed and the acceleration of a cylindrical object of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) after it rolls a distance \(s\) without slipping along an inclined plane of angle \(\theta\) with respect to the horizontal

An ice skater spins with her arms extended and then pulls her arms in and spins faster. Which statement is correct? a) Her kinetic energy of rotation does not change because, by conservation of angular momentum, the fraction by which her angular velocity increases is the same as the fraction by which her rotational inertia decreases. b) Her kinetic energy of rotation increases because of the work she does to pull her arms in. c) Her kinetic energy of rotation decreases because of the decrease in her rotational inertia; she loses energy because she gradually gets tired.
