A physics student is standing on an initially motionless, frictionless turntable with rotational inertia 0.31 kg · m2. She’s holding a wheel with rotational inertia 0.22 kg · m2 spinning at 130 rpm about a vertical axis, as in Fig. 11.8. When she turns the wheel upside down, student and turntable begin rotating at 70 rpm. (a) Find the student’s mass, considering her to be a 30-cm-diameter cylinder. (b) Neglecting the distance between the axes of the turntable and wheel, determine the work she did in turning the wheel upside down.

- A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.010.0 rpm while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outstretched hands are 0.7750.775 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 20.520.5 rpm. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after she pulls her arms in?arrow_forwardThe wheels, axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh 60.0 N. The load chamber and its contents weigh 525 N. The drawing shows these two forces in two different wheelbarrow designs. To support the wheel- barrow in equilibrium, the man’s hands apply a force F to the handles that is directed vertically upward. Consider a rotational axis at the point where the tire contacts the ground, directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Find the magnitude of the man’s force for both designs.arrow_forwardFig. 1 shows two blocks connected by a light cord that passes over a pulley. The pulley, which is mounted in horizontal frictionless bearings, has a radius of R = 0.10 m and a uniform mass of M = 2.0 kg. The two blocks have masses m1 = 4.0 kg and m2 = 7.0 kg, respectively. Assume that the cord does not slip over the pulley. (a) Show that the rotational inertia of the pulley about its central axis is given by I=1/2mR2. (b) What is the magnitude of the net torque on the system about the axle of the pulley? (c) Determine the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the system about the axle of the pulley when the blocks are moving at speed v. (Express your answer in terms of v only.) (d) Using parts (a) and (b), calculate the linear acceleration of the two blocks.arrow_forward
- 9.15 A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 500 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75.0 cm. The power is off for 30.0 s, and during this time the flywheel slows due to friction in its axle bearings. During the time the power is off, the flywheel makes 200 complete revolu- tions. (a) At what rate is the flywheel spinning when the power comes back on? (b) How long after the beginning of the power failure would it have taken the flywheel to stop if the power had not come back on, and how many revolutions would the wheel have made during this time? ●●arrow_forwardIn a lab experiment, a student brings up the angular speed of a flywheel to 50 rpm. She then allows the flywheel to slow down on its own and counts 85 revolutions before it comes to a stop. The rotational inertia of the flywheel is 0.095 kg·m². What is the retarding torque on the flywheel? (rpm = rev/min)arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. Two disks are mounted (like a merry-go-round) on low-friction bearings on the same axle and can be brought together so that they couple and rotate as one unit. The first disk, with rotational inertia 2.58 kg-m2 about its central axis, is set spinning counterclockwise (which may be taken as the positive direction) at 140 rev/min. The second disk, with rotational inertia 7.60 kg-m2 about its central axis, is set spinning counterclockwise at 941 rev/min. They then couple together. (a) What is their angular speed after coupling? If instead the second disk is set spinning clockwise at 941 rev/min, what are their (b) angular velocity (using the correct sign for direction) and (c) direction of rotation after they couple together? (a) Number i 77.24 Units N-m/rad (b) Number i -69.82 Units rev/s (c) clockwisearrow_forward
