- A cylindrical shaped object of mass 5.0 kg and radius 0.25 m is rotating at 11 rad/s. An object is dropped so that it sticks to the cylinder at a distance of 0.10 m from the axis of rotation, and the system’s angular speed decreases to 10.5 rad/s. What is the mass of the dropped object?arrow_forwardA pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that continuously emits a beam of radio waves in a searchlight manner. Each time the pulsar makes one revolution, the rotating beam sweeps across the earth, and the earth receives a pulse of radio waves. For one particular pulsar, the time between two successive pulses is 0.027 s. Determine the average angular speed (in rad/s) of this pulsar. rad/sarrow_forwardA car is traveling at a constant speed on the highway. It’s tires have a diameter of 66.0 cm and are rolling without sliding and slipping. If the angular speed of the tires is 50.0 rad/s, what is the speed of the car?arrow_forward
- A child jumps to the edge of a carousel, that is in the shape of a circular plate with a radius of 1.3 m and was rotating at an angular velocity of 1.2 s-1 before the chuld jumped on it. The weight of the carousels is 80 kg, the weight of the child is 22 kg. What is their angular velocity after the jump? Later, the child moves closer to the center of the carousel plate by 80 cm. What is the new angular velocity?arrow_forwardAn 8.79cm diameter floppy disk rotates at its fastest at 470 rpm. Part A: Express the angular velocity of the disk in revolutions per seconds? Part B: What is the time period of this revolution? Use scientific notation for your answer. Part C: What is the linear velocity of a point at the rim of the disk? Part D: What is the angular velocity at the center of the disk? Part E: If the disk took 3.2 sec to spin up to 470 rpm from rest, what was the average angular acceleration? How many revolutions did the disk complete within this time? What is the net displacement? Part F: If you turn off the floppy disk drive and the disk comes to a stop in 6.7 s, what is the average angular acceleration for this period of motion?arrow_forwardA 3.00 kg solid sphere with a radius of 15 cm is rolling without slipping along a horizontal floor.

- You are riding your bicycle down the road and decide to stop to take in the scenery. Initially, your bicycle tires are rotating at a frequency of 7 times per second. If it takes your bicycle 50 revolutions to come to a full stop, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration (assume your acceleration is constant). Give your answer in units of radians per second squaredarrow_forwardA 10 kg cylindrical barrel with a radius of 0.5 m rotates about a vertical axis of rotation without displacing with an initial angular velocity of 4 rad/s. The rotational inertia of the cylindrical barrel is 0.3mr2 and rain begins to fill the barrel with water as it rotates. If the barrel accumulates 4 kg of water, calculate the new angular velocity of the barrel.arrow_forwardThree children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of 105 kg and a radius of 1.70 m . The merry‑go‑round is spinning at 20.0 rpm. The children have masses of 22.0, 28.0, and 33.0 kg. If the 28.0 kg child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children as point masses. final angular velocity: rpmarrow_forward
