Chapter 10: Rotational Kinematics and Energy Answers to Even-Numbered Conceptual Questions 8. Spin the two spheres with equal angular speeds. The one with the larger moment of inertia—the hollow sphere—has the greater kinetic energy, and hence will spin for a longer time before stopping. Answers to Even-Numbered Conceptual Exercises 16. The ranking is as follows: disk 1 = disk 2 = disk 3. All uniform disks finish the race in the same time, regardless of their mass and/or radius. Solutions to Problems 52. Picture the Problem: The basketball rolls without slipping at constant speed on the level floor. Strategy: Use equation 1017 and the moment of inertia of a hollow sphere to find the rotational kinetic energy of the ball. Then use equation 76 to find the translational kinetic energy, and sum the two to find the total kinetic energy. Use a ratio to find out what fraction of the ball’s energy is rotational kinetic energy. K r 12 I 2 Solution: 1. (a) Apply equations 10-17 and 7-6 to find K r , K t , and the total K: 1 2 2 3 MR 2 v R 13 Mv 2 2 K t 12 Mv 2 K K r K t 13 Mv 2 12 Mv 2 56 Mv 2 K r 13 Mv 2 2 5 2 K Mv 5 6 2. Calculate the ratio K r K : 3. (b) The answer to part (a) will stay the same if the linear speed of the ball is doubled to 2v, because the ratio is independent of speed, radius, and mass. Insight: The ratio is a constant because when an object rolls without slipping there is a direct relationship between its translation and rotation: vt r . 63. Picture the Problem: The cylinder rolls down the ramp without slipping, gaining both translational and rotational kinetic energy. Strategy: Use conservation of energy to find total kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp. Then set that energy equal to the sum of the rotational and translational energies. Since the cylinder rolls without slipping, the equation v r can be used to write the expression in terms of linear velocity alone. Use the resulting equation to find expressions for the fraction of the total energy that is rotational and translational kinetic energy. Solution: 1. (a) Set Ei Ef and solve for K f : 2. (b) Set K f equal to K t K r : 3. Determine K r from steps 1 and 2: K r 14 mv 2 1 3 3 4 mv 2 13 K f 1 3 14.7 J 4.9 J 4. (c) Determine K t from steps 1 and 2: K t 12 mv 2 2 3 3 4 mv 2 23 K f 2 3 14.7 J 9.8 J Insight: The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is rotational energy depends upon the moment of inertia. If the object were a hoop, for instance, with I mr 2 , the final kinetic energy would be half translational, half rotational. 91. Picture the Problem: The rod swings downward, pivoting about one end. Strategy: Use conservation of mechanical energy to determine the angular speed of the rod when it is vertical. Then apply equation 10-12 to find the linear speed vt of the free end of the rod. Let y = 0 correspond to the position of the center of mass of the rod when it is vertical, so that y0 L 2 at the start. The rod has only rotational kinetic energy at the end, not translational, because the pivot point is stationary. The moment of 2 inertia of a rod pivoted about one end is I 13 ML . Solution: 1. (a) Set Ei Ef and solve for : Ki U i Kf U f 0 Mg L 2 12 I 2 0 vt r L 2. (b) Apply equation 10-12 directly: MgL I 3g L MgL ML2 1 3 3g L 3 gL Insight: The angular speed of the rod actually decreases with increasing length, but the tangential speed increases with increasing length. 95. Picture the Problem: The ball rolls without slipping down the incline, gaining speed, then is launched horizontally off the edge, traveling along a parabolic arc until it hits the floor. Strategy: Use conservation of energy to determine the center of mass speed of the sphere at the bottom of the ramp. Then use equation 4-9 to determine the horizontal range of the ball as it travels through the air. Use the table height to together with equations 4-6 to determine the time of fall. Use the angular speed of the ball and the time of fall to find the number of rotations it makes before landing. Solution: 1. (a) Set Ei Ef and simplify: 9.81 m/s 0.61 m 2.92 m/s 2. Solve the expression from step 1 for v: v 3. Apply equation 4-9 to find d: d v0 4. (b) Solve equations 4-6 for t: y y0 v0 y t 12 gt 2 10 7 gh 10 7 2 2htable 2.92 m/s g 0 htable 0 12 gt 2 t 2 1.22 m 9.81 m/s 2 2htable g 1.5 m 2 1.22 m 9.81 m/s 2 0.50 s 5. Determine the angular speed from equation 10-12: 6. Find the number of revolutions: t 34 rad/s 0.50 s 17 rad 1 rev 2 rad 2.7 rev vt 2.92 m/s 34 rad/s r 12 0.17 m 7. (c) If the ramp were made frictionless, the sphere would slide, not roll. It would therefore store no energy in its rotation, and all of its gravitational potential energy would become translational kinetic energy. It would therefore launch from the table edge with a higher speed and the landing distance d would increase. Insight: If the ramp were frictionless, the launch speed would be and therefore an 18% increase in the landing distance d. 2gh instead of 10 7 gh , an 18% increase in speed Chapter 11: Rotational Dynamics and Static Equilibrium Answers to Even-Numbered Conceptual Questions 4. The force that accelerates a motorcycle is a forward force applied at ground level. The center of mass of the motorcycle, however, is above the ground. Therefore, the accelerating force exerts a torque on the cycle that tends to rotate the front wheel upward. 12. The tail rotor on a helicopter has a horizontal axis of rotation, as opposed to the vertical axis of the main rotor. Therefore, the tail rotor produces a horizontal thrust that tends to rotate the helicopter about a vertical axis. As a result, if the angular speed of the main rotor is increased or decreased, the tail rotor can exert an opposing torque that prevents the entire helicopter from rotating in the opposite direction. Answers to Even-Numbered Conceptual Exercises 2. The moment of inertia is greatest when more mass is at a greater distance from the axis of rotation, and the greater the moment of inertia the smaller the angular acceleration produced by a given torque. With these observations in mind, we arrive at the following ranking: case C < case B < case A. 4. As the person climbs higher on the ladder, the torque exerted about the base of the ladder increases. To counter this torque, the wall must exert a greater horizontal force, and the floor must exert the same increased horizontal force in the opposite direction. Therefore, the ladder is more likely to slip as the person climbs higher. 12. As the beetle begins to walk, it exerts a force and a torque on the turntable. The turntable exerts an equal but opposite force and torque on the beetle. Therefore, the system consisting of the beetle and turntable experiences no net change in its linear or angular momentum. (a) If the turntable is much more massive than the beetle, it will barely rotate backward as the beetle moves forward. The beetle, then, will begin to circle around the perimeter of the turntable almost the same as if it were on solid ground. (b) If the turntable is virtually massless, on the other hand, it will rotate backward with a linear speed at the rim that is almost equal to the forward linear speed of the beetle. The beetle will progress very slowly relative to the ground in this case—though as far as it is concerned, it is running with its usual speed. In the limit of a massless turntable, the beetle remains in the same spot relative to the ground. Solutions to Problems 5. Picture the Problem: The biceps muscle, the weight of the arm, and the weight of the ball all exert torques on the forearm as depicted at right. Strategy: Use equation 103 to determine the torques produced by the biceps muscle, the weight of the forearm, and the weight of the ball. Sum the torques together to find the net torque. According to the sign convention, torques in the counterclockwise direction are positive, and those in the clockwise direction are negative. Solution: 1. (a) Compute the individual torques using equation 10-3 and sum them: 2. (b) Negative net torque means the clockwise direction; the forearm and hand will rotate downward. 3. (c) Attaching the biceps farther from the elbow would increase the moment arm and increase the net torque. Insight: The biceps would need to exert a force of at least 90.3 N in order to prevent the arm from rotating downward (see problem 19). 6. Picture the Problem: The adult pushes downward on the left side of the teeter-totter and the child sits on the right side as depicted in the figure: Strategy: Calculate the torques exerted by the weight of the child and the force of the parent’s hands and sum them. The sign of the net torque indicates the direction in which the teeter-totter will rotate. r adult Fadult r child mchild g Solution: 1. (a) Find the torque the child exerts on the teeter-totter. 2. Find the torque exerted by the parent and sum the torques to find the direction of travel: adult r adult Fadult 3.0 m 95 N 285 N m . Here adult child 0 so the teeter-totter will rotate counterclockwise and the child will move up. 3. (b) Repeat step 2 with the new r for the adult: adult r adult Fadult 2.5 m 95 N 238 N m . Here adult child 0 so the teeter-totter will rotate counterclockwise and the child will move up. 4. (c) Repeat step 2 with the new r for the adult: adult r adult Fadult 2.0 m 95 N 190 N m . Here adult child 0 so the teeter-totter will rotate clockwise and the child will move down. Insight: The parent would have to exert the 95-N force exactly 2.48 m from the pivot point in order to balance the teeter-totter. We bent the rules for significant figures slightly to more easily compare the magnitudes of the torques. 13. Picture the Problem: The object consists of four masses that can be rotated about any of the x, y, or z axes, as shown in the figure at right. Strategy: Calculate the moments of inertia about the x, y, and z axes using equation 1018, and then apply equation 114 to find the angular acceleration that results from an applied torque of 13 N·m about the various axes. Let m1 = 2.5 kg, m2 = 3.0 kg, m3 = 4.0 kg, and m4 = 1.2 kg. Solution: 1. (a) The angular acceleration will be the greatest when the moment of inertia is the smallest because the torque is the same in each case. The moment of inertia is smallest when the rectangular object is rotated about the x axis, and greatest when rotated about the z axis (see below). Therefore we predict the angular acceleration is greatest about the x axis, least about the z axis. 2. (b) Calculate I x using equation 10-18: 3. Find x using equation 11-4: x 13 N m 7.4 rad/s 2 I x 1.75 kg m 2 y 13 N m 5.1 rad/s 2 I y 2.55 kg m 2 4. (c) Calculate I y using equation 10-18: 5. Find y using equation 11-4: 6. (d) Calculate I z using equation 10-18: 7. Find z using equation 11-4: z 13 N m 3.0 rad/s 2 I z 4.3 kg m 2 Insight: In this case it is a bit difficult to predict the moments of inertia about the x and y axes without calculating anything. That’s because although more mass (7.0 kg) is displaced from the x axis, the masses are at a shorter distance (0.50 m) when compared to the 4.2 kg of mass that are displaced 0.70 m from the y axis. It turns out the difference in distances is what makes Ix smaller than Iy. We bent the rules for significant figures a bit in steps 2 and 4 to avoid rounding error. 23. Picture the Problem: The force applied to the button produces a positive torque on the remote about the edge of the table, and the weight of the remote produces a negative torque about the same pivot. Strategy: The maximum overhang corresponds to the case when the torque about the table edge caused by the button force is balanced by the torque caused by the weight of the remote. Assuming the remote has a uniform composition, its center of mass is exactly midway between its two ends. Solution: 1. Set the net torque about the table edge equal to zero and solve for L: r τ L b F x cm L mg 0 L F mg xcm mg bF L 2. Substitute the numerical values to find the maximum overhang: L xcm mg bF F mg 12 23.0 cm 0.122 kg 9.81 m/s 2 1.41 cm 0.365 N 0.365 N 0.122 kg 9.81 m/s2 9.14 cm Insight: The overhang corresponds to 40% of the length of the remote. It could never be more than 50%, of course, since the center of mass needs to be above a point of support for equilibrium to be established. The overhang is rather large in this case because the 0.365 N button force is small compared with the 1.20-N weight of the remote. 30. Picture the Problem: The horizontal force F is applied to the rod as shown in the figure at right. Strategy: Let L = the rod length and write Newton’s Second Law for torques (let the bolt be the pivot point) in order to determine the wire tension T. Then write Newton’s Second Law in the horizontal and vertical r directions to determine the components of the bolt force Fb . Solution: 1. (a) Set solve for T : 2. (b) Set F x 0 and 0 and solve for Fb,x : F x F Fb,x T cos 45 0 F 1 cos 45 F 2 F 2 cos 45 Fb,x T cos 45 F 3. (c) Set F y 0 and solve for Fb, y : F y Fb,y T sin 45 0 F sin 45 2 cos 45 Fb,y Insight: The bolt force has a magnitude of F 1 2 F 2 and points 45° above the horizontal and to the left. 53. Picture the Problem: Jogger 3 runs in a straight line at constant speed in the manner indicated by the figure at right. Strategy: Use L rmv (equation 1112) to find the angular momentum. Solution: 1. (a) The angular momentum increases with the perpendicular distance to the reference point. Since jogger 3’s perpendicular distance to point A is zero, his angular momentum is zero with respect to point A. Therefore his angular momentum is greater with respect to point B. 2. (b) Jogger 3 has the same perpendicular distance to point B as he has to the origin, O. Therefore, his angular momentum with respect to B is the same as it is with respect to O. 3. (c) Apply equation 11-12 directly: LA r , A mv 0.00 m 62.2 kg 5.85 m/s 0 kg m 2 /s 4. Apply equation 11-12 directly: LB r, B mv 7.00 m 62.2 kg 5.85 m/s 2.55 103 kg m 2 /s 5. Apply equation 11-12 directly: LO r,O mv 7.00 m 62.2 kg 5.85 m/s 2.55 103 kg m 2 /s Insight: The angular momenta of all 3 joggers have the same sign (they are all clockwise). If you use the right hand rule introduced in section 11-9, the angular momentum vectors of each point into the page. 61. Picture the Problem: The person runs tangentially to the rotating merrygo-round and hops on. Strategy: Use conservation of angular momentum because there is no net torque on the system as long as the system includes both the person and the merry-go-round. Find the moments of inertia of the disk-shaped merry-go2 round, I mgr 12 M r , and the system after the person hops on I f 12 M r 2 m r 2 , where M is the mass of the merry-go-round, m is the mass of the person, and r is the radius of the merry-go-round. Set Li Lf and solve for the final angular speed f , where the initial angular speed is: i 0.641 rev/s 2 rad rev 4.03 rad/s. Solution: Set Li Lf and solve for f : Ldisk Lperson Lfinal 1 2 M r 2 i mv r 12 M r 2 m r 2 f f M r 2i mv r Mri 2mv 2 2 1 M r +2m r 2 M r +m r 155 kg 2.63 m 4.03 rad/s 2 59.4 kg 3.41 m/s 1 2 155 kg 2.63 m 2 59.4 kg 2.63 m f 2.84 rad/s Insight: The merry-go-round has slowed down because the initial linear speed of the person (3.41 m/s) is less than the initial linear speed of the rim of the merry-go-round (10.6 m/s). 75. Picture the Problem: The saw blade rotates on its axis and gains rotational kinetic energy due to the torque applied by the electric motor. Strategy: The torque applied through an angular displacement gives the blade its rotational kinetic energy. Use equations 1117 and 1017 to relate the kinetic energy to the torque applied by the motor. Then use equation 1117 again to find the kinetic energy and angular speed after the blade has completed half as many revolutions. rev 2 rad 1 min 379 rad/s min rev 60 s Solution: 1. (a) Find f in units of rad/sec: f 3620 2. Set W K and solve for : W 12 I 2 and I 12 mr 2 1 2 mr 2 2 2 1 2 0.755 kg 0.152 m 2 379 rad/s 2 2 6.30 rev 2 rad/rev 15.8 N m 3. (b) The time to rotate the first 3.15 revolutions is greater than the time to rotate the last 3.15 revolutions because the blade is speeding up. So more than half the time is spent in the first 3.15 revolutions. Therefore, the angular speed has increased to more than half of its final value. After 3.15 revolutions, the angular speed is greater than 1810 rpm. 4. (d) Set W K and solve for : 12 I 2 14 mr 2 2 4 15.8 N m 3.15 rev 2 rad/rev 4 mr 2 0.755 kg 0.152 m 2 60 s 1 rev 2560 rev/min min 2 rad 268 rad/s Insight: The angular speed increases linearly upon time ( 0 t t but depends upon the square root of the angular displacement: 02 2 2 . 80. Picture the Problem: The force from the elastic cord produces a torque about the elbow joint in the manner indicated by the figure at right. Strategy: Use the geometry in the figure to determine the component of the moment arm that is perpendicular to the force F, and then use equation 11-3 to determine the F that will produce the desired torque. Finally, use Hooke’s Law (equation 6-4) to find the spring constant from the force and the stretch distance. Let a be the 38-cm length of the person’s arm. The perpendicular component of the moment arm is r a sin . A careful analysis of the geometry reveals that 61 39 22. The stretch distance x is the difference between the 44-cm stretched length and the 31-cm unstretched length of the elastic cord. Solution: 1. Solve equation 11-3 for F: F 81 N m 570 N r 0.38 m sin 22 2. Solve equation 6-4 for k: k F 570 N 4400 N/m 4.4 kN/m x 0.44 0.31 m Insight: The 570 N of force the elastic cord exerts on the hand is equivalent to 130 lb. A good workout! 94. Picture the Problem: The force F is applied to the axis of the wheel in order to lift it over the step as shown in the figure at right. Strategy: In order to find the minimum force F that will lift the wheel over the step, we must balance the torques. The torque about the corner of the step that is produced by F must balance the torque produced by the downward force of gravity acting at the axle. The moment arm for the force F is r,F 14 R and the moment arm for the weight is r ,W R cos , where cos R 2 14 R r Solution: Set τ 0 and solve for Fmin : R 2 15 . 16 r ,W Fmin Mg r,F Fmin 0 r,W Mg r,F R 15 16 Mg R 4 15 Mg Insight: Less force is required if the step is smaller. For instance, a step height of R 2 would only require a force of Fmin 12 Mg .
