- Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.arrow_forwardDuring a certain time interval, the angular position of a swinging door is described by = 5.00 + 10.0t + 2.00t2, where is in radians and t is in seconds.

The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.00 kg m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the dumbbells inward horizontally to a position 0.300 m from the rotation axis (Fig. P10.56b). (a) Find the new angular speed of the student. (b) Find the kinetic energy of the rotating system before and after he pulls the dumbbells inward. Figure P10.56arrow_forward

Just as she spots the horse, one-fourth of the circumference ahead of her, the carousel begins to move, accelerating from rest at 0.050 rad/s2. a. Taking the time when the carousel begins to move as t = 0, when will Lara catch up to the horse? b. Lara mistakenly passes the horse and keeps running at constant angular speed. If the carousel continues to accelerate at the same rate, when will the horse draw even with Lara again?arrow_forwardThe uniform thin rod in Figure P8.47 has mass M = 3.50 kg and length L = 1.00 m and is free to rotate on a friction less pin.
