Question
When some stars use up their fuel, they undergo a catastrophic explosion called a supernova. This explosion blows much or all of a star's mass outward, in the form of a rapidly expanding spherical shell. As a simple model of the supernova process, assume that the star is a solid sphere of radius R that is intitally rotating at 2.9 revoltions per day. After the star explodes, find the

- A light rod of length ℓ = 1.00 m rotates about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its center as in the figure below. Two particles of masses m1 = 4.50 kg and m2 = 3.00 kg are connected to the ends of the rod. Just need answer to (b), got 2.84 and said that was wrong. (a) Neglecting the mass of the rod, what is the system's kinetic energy when its angular speed is 2.60 rad/s? 6.34 J (b) Repeat the problem, assuming the mass of the rod is taken to be 1.90 kg.arrow_forwardA circular space station with a radius of 72 m has just been completed. In order to provide astronauts with the feeling of gravity, the space station will be set spinning about its central axis. To do this, solid fuel rockets have been attached around the perimeter of this station to start it spinning. These rockets fizzle out quickly, and produce a non-uniform angular acceleration of =a0e−bt Where a0 = 0.0424 rad/s2 and b = 0.153 s-1. The station is at rest (is not spinning) when the rockets are ignited at t = 0 s. What is the tangential speed of the outer edge of the station about the center of the station at t = 6.27 s? Through what angle has the station rotated in that time? Once the rockets are done burning, how long does it take the station to complete one revolution?arrow_forwardA cockroach of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 8.00m that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round. Initially the cockroach and disk rotate together with an angular velocity of 0.320 rad/s. Then the cockroach walks halfway to the center of the disk. (a) What then iş the angular velocity of the cockroach-disk system? rad/s (b) What is the ratio K/Ko of the new kinetic energy of the system to its initial kinetic energy? (c) What accounts for the change in the kinetic energy? (Select all that apply.) O cockroach does negative work on the disk O gravity O centripetal force O friction O centrifugal force O cockroach does positive work on the diskarrow_forward
- Under some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star. A star with a of mass of 2.0x1032 kg and radius 7.0x108 m is initially rotating at a rate of once every 30 days. The star collapses into a neutron star with the same mass but a new radius of 16,000 m. What is the angular speed of the star? (Give your answer in rotations per second.) Assume the star is a solid sphere: Isphere = 2/5 MR2. The Crab Nebula (shown below) formed from a nearby supernova (6000 light years away). Chinese astronomers observed the event in the year 1054 and since that time the nebula has been expanding into what it appears like today. The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star at the center of the nebula and the remains of the original supernova.arrow_forwardWhile you are on an archaeological dig in Egypt, you observe a scarab beetle of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 3.80m (3.8 times the mass of the beetle) that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round.

- A solid ball of radius r begins to roll down a hemisphere with radius R. Find the angular speed of the ball at the moment it leaves the surface of the hemisphere. Obviously, r < R.arrow_forwardThe figure shows multiple solid disks with uniform mass distribution that are spinning about its center. The mass of the disks are the same, but they have different radii, as shown. Rank the disks by the amount of energy needed to spin the disk so that the outer edge of the disk has linear velocity v, from greatest to least. Explain your reasoning.

- During a trampoline routine, a gymnast is tumbling in the air at 21 rad/s in a tuck position. He then extends into a layout position and doubles his radius of gyration just before landing on the trampoline bed. How fast is his angular velocity in rad/s at this instant, just before landing on the trampoline bed?arrow_forwardA cockroach of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 3.00 m that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round.
