Chapter 9: Q6 Q (page 377)

Consider the acceleration of a car on dry pavement, if there is no slipping. The axle moves at speed v, and the outside of the tire moves at a speed relative to the axle. The instantaneous velocity of the bottom of the tire is zero. How much work is done by the force exerted on the tire by the road? What is the source of the energy that increases the car’s translational kinetic energy?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work done by the force exerted on the tire by the road is 0 Joule.The internal energy of the car cause speeding a car and this will result ingaining translational kinetic energy.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  • The speed of a caroutside of theis vout=v
  • The instantaneous velocity of the bottom of the tire is vbot=0
02

Concept of the work done by the force

The work done by the force is determined by the multiplication of force and displacement.

03

Determination of the work done by the force

The work done by the force can be calculated as,

The motion of tires of a car is pure rolling. Therefore, the work done the road friction on the tires will be 0.Hence, the work done by the force exerted on the tire by the road is 0 Joule.

The engine of a car gives power to the wheel. The increase in the car's kinetic energy comes from the internal energy of the car, this will result in gaining translational kinetic energy.

A solid uniform-density sphere is tied to a rope and moves in a circle with speed v. The distance from the center of the circle to the center of the sphere is d, the mass of the sphere is M, and the radius of the sphere isR. (a) What is the angular speed role="math" localid="1653899021129" ω? (b) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the sphere? (c) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?

String is wrapped around an object of mass 1.5kg and moment of inertia 0.0015kg-m2(the density of the object is not uniform). With your hand you pull the string straight up with some constant force F such that the center of the object does not move up or down, but the object spins faster and faster (Figure 9.62). This is like a yo-yo; nothing but the vertical string touches the object. When your hand is a height y0=0.25mabove the floor, the object has an angular speed ω0=12rad/s. When your hand has risen to a height y=0.35m above the floor, what is the angular speed of the object? Your answer must be numeric and not contain the symbol F.

A sphere of uniform density with mass 22 kg and radius 0.7 m is spinning, making one complete revolution every 0.5 s. The center of mass of the sphere has a speed of4 m?s(a) What is the rotational kinetic energy Of the sphere? (b) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?

Relative to an origin at the center of the Earth, where is the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system? The mass of the Earth is 6×1024kg, the mass of the Moon is7×1022kg , and the distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon is4×108m . The radius of the Earth is 6400 kmOna can show that the Earth and Moon orbit each other around this center of mass.
