Chapter 1, Problem 54GP
BIO Spin-Dry Dragonflies Some dragonflies are observed to splash into the water to bathe, and then spin rapidly to shed the water. Slow-motion video shot at 240 frames per second shows that dragonflies complete one spin revolution every 14 frames. What is the spin rate of the dragonfly in revolutions per minute (rpm)?

- Two children are playing on stools at a restaurant counter. Their feet do not reach the footrests, and the tops of the stools are free to rotate without friction on pedestals fixed to the floor. One of the children catches a tossed ball, in a process described by the equation (0.730kgm2)(240jrad/s)+(0.120kg)(0.350im)(4.30km/s)=[0.730kgm2+(0.120kg)(0.350m)2] (a) Solve the equation for the unknown .

The ride you are controlling consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away (Fig. P6.7). The coefficient of static friction between a person of mass m and the wall is s, and the radius of the cylinder is R. You are rotating the ride with an angular speed suggested by your supervisor. (a) Suppose a very heavy person enters the ride. Do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall? (b) Suppose someone enters the ride wearing a very slippery satin workout outfit. In this case, do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall?

- Native people throughout North and South America used a bola to hunt for birds and animals. A bola can consist of three stones, each with mass m, at the ends of three light cords, each with length . The other ends of the cords are tied together to form a Y. The hunter holds one stone and swings the other two above his head (Figure P11.41a, page 308). Both these stones move together in a horizontal circle of radius 2 with speed v0. At a moment when the horizontal component of their velocity is directed toward the quarry, the hunter releases the stone in his hand. As the bola flies through the air, the cords quickly take a stable arrangement with constant 120-degree angles between them (Fig. P11.41b). In the vertical direction, the bola is in free fall. Gravitational forces exerted by the Earth make the junction of the cords move with the downward acceleration g. You may ignore the vertical motion as you proceed to describe the horizontal motion of the bola. In terms of m, , and v0, calculate (a) the magnitude of the momentum of the bola at the moment of release and, after release, (b) the horizontal speed of the center of mass of the bola, and (c) the angular momentum of the bola about its center of mass. (d) Find the angular speed of the bola about its center of mass after it has settled into its Y shape. Calculate the kinetic energy of the bola (e) at the instant of release and (f) in its stable Y shape. (g) Explain how the conservation laws apply to the bola as its configuration changes.

The roll is given an initial velocity V; = 3.9 m/s. The initial radius of the roll is R= 1 m. Find the velocity of the roll V4, in m/s, when the radius of the roll is r = 0.6 m. Assume the roll rolls without slipping and that gravity acts on the roll. Also assume that the mass distribution of the paper on the roll is homogeneous. (Take g = 10 m/s².)

As the crank arm turns, it pulls a chain that is attached to the rear wheel of the bicycle, causing the bicycle to move forward. O 18 cm 16 cm A particular bicycle has wheels that are 66 cm in diameter. The radius of the crank arm is 18 cm. At its lowest point, the pedal is 16 cm above the ground. A person is pedaling the bicycle such that the crank arm rotates once every second. Questions: 1. Write an equation that models the vertical position of the foot with respect to the ground, starting from the lowest point, as the crank arm turns. 2. What is the rate of change of the vertical position of the foot when it is at the midline? Explain your answer 3. How fast, in kilometres per hour, is the bicycle moving? 4.
