You have one object of each of these shapes, all with mass 0.840 kg: a uniform solid cylinder, a thin-walled hollow cylinder, a uniform solid sphere, and a thin-walled hollow sphere. You release each object from rest at the same vertical height h above the bottom of a long wooden ramp that is inclined at 35.0° from the horizontal. Each object rolls without slipping down the ramp. You measure the time t that it takes each one to reach the bottom of the ramp; Fig. P10.89 shows the results. (a) From the bar graphs, identify objects A through D by shape. (b) Which of objects A through D has the greatest total kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp, or do all have the same kinetic energy? (c) Which of objects A through D has the greatest rotational kinetic energy12lӬ2 at the bottom of the ramp, or do all have the same rotational kinetic energy? (d) What minimum coefficient of static friction is required for all four objects to roll without slipping?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The uniform solid sphere arrives first, uniform solid arrives second, hollow sphere third, hollow cylinder arrives fourth.

(b) All objects have same kinetic energy at the bottom.

(c) The hollow cylinder has the greatest kinetic energy at the bottom.

(d) If the coefficient of friction is greater than or equal to 0.35 the object will roll without slipping.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

It is given that the mass of each object as M=0.840Kg, ramp inclination as θ=35.0°and initial height as h.

02

(a) Identifying objects by shape

Given that all the objects have same mass and height that implies the gravitational potential energy is also same but the moment of inertia is not the same.

The moment of inertia of the given shapes are:

Uniform solid cylinder: lusc=12MR2, Hollow cylinder, Ihc=MR2, uniform solid sphere luss=25MR2, hollow sphere lhs=23MR2.

Here, the initial energy is Mghand the final energy is the sum of the kinetic energy which can be written as Mgh=Kcm+Krot…… (1)

Substitute Kcm=12Mvcm2and Krot=12lӬ2 in (1) then, Mgh=12Mvcm2+12lӬ2…… (2)

The speed of center of mass is Ӭ=vcmR. Since, all the moment of inertia is proportional to MR2, lcan be written as l=ηMR2 where η is a constant.

Plug all the known values in (2) and simplify:

Mgh=12Mvcm2+12ηMR2vcmR2=12Mvcm2+12ηMRvcm2⇒gh=12vcm2+12ηRvcm2⇒gh=vcm22(1+ηR)

From the above equation,vcm=2gh1+η . The constant in the moment of inertia ranges as ηuss<ηusc<ηhs<ηhc. Thus, the uniform solid sphere arrives first, uniform solid arrives second, hollows sphere third, hollow cylinder arrives fourth.

03

(b) Greatest kinetic energy

Here, all the objects have same potential energy at the start. Then depends on the conservation of energy all objects have same kinetic energy at the bottom.

04

(c) Greatest Rotational energy

The rotational kinetic energy at the bottom is Krot=12lӬ2…… (3)

Substitute l=ηMR2,Ӭ=vcmR,vcm=2gh1+η in (3) and simplify.

Krot=12ηMR2vcmR2=ηMRvcm22=ηMR22gh1+η=ηMRgh1+η

Therefore, the object with largest constant ηhas the greatest kinetic energy at the bottom. Here, hollow cylinder has the greatest kinetic energy.

05

(d) Minimum coefficient of static friction

If vcm=ӬR and acm=αR then the object of R does not slip.

Here, the frictional force is constant and is equal to localid="1667996845926" Ffr=μMgcosθand the torque produced by the force is τ=RμMgcosθ.

Since, τ=lα then, lα=RμMgcosθand μ=lαRMgcosθ.

Substitute τ=ηMR2 and acm=αR in μ.

μ=ηMR2aomRRMgcosθ=ηacmgcosθ

By Newton’s second law, the acceleration acm can be written as follows:

Maan=Mgsinθ−μMgcosθ⇒acm=gsinθ−μgcosθ⇒μgcosθ=gsinθ−acm⇒μ=gsinθ−acmgcosθ

Further, the above equation can be written as follows:

μ=ηgsinθ−ηgμcosθgcosθμ=ηg(sinθ−μcosθ)gcosθμcosθ=ηsinθ−μκcosθμcosθ(1+κ)=ηsinθ

From the above equation, μ=tanθ1+κ. Substitute κ=1and θ=35.0° then,

μ=tanθ(1+κ)=tan(35.0)(1+1)=0.35

Therefore, if the coefficient of friction is greater than or equal to 0.35 the object will roll without slipping.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road such that its distance from the light is given byxt=bt2-ct3, whereb=2.40m/s2andc=0.120m/s3. (a) Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 10.0 s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 0, t = 5.0 s, and t = 10.0 s. (c) How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.
