What fraction of the total kinetic energy is rotational for the following objects rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface? (a) A uniform solid cylinder; (b) a uniform sphere; (c) a thin-walled, hollow sphere; (d) a hollow cylinder with outer radius R and inner radius R2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a uniform solid cylinder is, 13.

(b) The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a uniform sphere is,27.

(c) The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a thin-walled, hollow sphere is, 25.

(d) The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a hollow cylinder is, 513.

Step by step solution

01

To mention the formula

We have

K=12mv2,   Krot=12IӬ2,   Ktot=K+Krot

For an object which is rolling without slipping, we have,

v=RÓ¬

The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational is,

ErotEtot=12IӬ212Mv2+12IӬ2=IӬ2Mv2+Ӭ2=11+MI·v2Ӭ2=11+MR2I

∴ErotEtot=11+MR2I.

02

(a)To find the fraction of total kinetic energy rotational for uniform solid cylinder

Now, using table 9.2, we get

I=112MR2gives the above ratio equal to 13.

Hence, the fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a uniform solid cylinder is, 13.

03

(b)To find the fraction of total kinetic energy rotational for uniform sphere

Now, using table 9.2, we get

I=125MR2gives the above ratio equal to 27.

Hence, the fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a uniform sphere is,27.

04

(c)To find the fraction of total kinetic energy rotational for a thin-walled hollow sphere

Now, using table 9.2, we get

I=123MR2gives the above ratio equal to25.

Hence, the fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a thin-walled, hollow sphere is, 25.

05

(d)To find the fraction of total kinetic energy rotational for a hollow cylinder

Now, using table 9.2, we get

I=158MR2 gives the above ratio equal to 513 .

Hence, the fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational for a hollow cylinder is, 513.

How many years older will you be 1.00 gigasecond from now? (Assume a 365-day year.)

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0 Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth’s equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

A plastic ball has radius 12.0 cm and floats in water with 24.0% of its volume submerged. (a) What force must you apply to the ball to hold it at rest totally below the surface of the water? (b) If you let go of the ball, what is its acceleration the instant you release it?
