Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Given that the angular acceleration is not constant.

02

Concept/Significance of rotational kinetic energy

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is given by,

K=12IÓ¬2

Here, lis the moment of inertia, andÓ¬is the angular velocity of body.

03

Determine the formula v=r ω is valid or not(a)

The equationv=rӬis obtained from differentiation of the equations=rθ.

Here, v is the linear velocity, r is the distance, s is the arc distance, andθis the angle.

The equations=rθ is valid for both inertial and accelerating frames of reference.

Here, it does not matter whether angular acceleration is constant or not. Hence, the equation v=rÓ¬is valid.

04

Determine the formula atan=r α is valid or not(b)

The tangential acceleration isatan=rα.

Here,αis the angular acceleration.

When an object moves along a curve, it possesses tangential acceleration irrespective of the rate of increase of the speed along the curve. Hence, the equation localid="1667973436097" atan=rαis valid.

05

Determine the formula ω=ω0+αt is valid or not(c)

he final angular velocity is given by,

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αt

Here, Ó¬0is the Initial angular velocity and t is the time.

The equation Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtis obtained by assuming angular acceleration of the object is constant.

Hence, the equation Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtis not valid.

06

Determine the formula a2tan is valid or not(d)

The tangential acceleration is given by,

atan=rÓ¬2

When an object moves along a circular path, it possesses centripetal acceleration irrespective of the rate of increase of the speed along the curve.

Hence, the equation atan=rÓ¬2is valid.

07

Determine the formula K=12Iω2 is valid or not(e)

The kinetic energy is given by,

K=12mv2

Here, m is mass.

The equationK=12mv2is obtained by using the equationsK=12mv2andv=rÓ¬.

K=12m(rÓ¬)2 =12mr2Ó¬2=12lÓ¬2

Sincev=rÓ¬is valid for any accelerationrole="math" localid="1663935915591" K=12lÓ¬2is valid as well.

Hence, the equation role="math" localid="1663935944634" K=12lÓ¬2is valid.

You take an empty glass jar and push it into a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downward, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot get out. If you push the jar deeper into the water, does the buoyant force on the jar stay the same? If not, does it increase or decrease? Explain.

In Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.

Can you find a vector quantity that has a magnitude of zero but components that are not zero? Explain. Can the magnitude of a vector be less than the magnitude of any of its components? Explain.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet’s surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, ÒÏ=M/V, and the planet’s diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn’s surface?
