Chapter 8: Q. 54 (page 201)

FIGURE P8.54 shows a small block of mass m sliding around the inside of an L-shaped track of radius r. The bottom of the track is frictionless; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall of the track is µk,The block's speed is vo at to =0 Find an expression for the block's speed at a later time t.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expression for the velocity at time t is vt=(vor)(voμkt+r)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

mass= m

radius= r

The bottom of the track is frictionless

coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall of the track is µk,

speed is vo at to =0

02

Explanation

Centripetal force is given by

Fc=mv2r
where m = mass, v = velocity and r = radius.
Frictional force is µkN

Where µk,= coefficient of friction and N is Normal force

From the Newton's second law, we know

mdvdt=-μk(mv2r)dvdt=-μkv2r

Now integrate and find vt

∫v0vt-dvv2=∫0tμkdtr1vt-1v0=μktr1vt=μktr+1v0vt=vorvoμkt+r

FIGUREQ8.3is a bird’s-eye view of particles on strings moving in horizontal circles on a tabletop. All are moving at the same speed. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the tensions TatoTd. Give your answer in the forma>b=c>dand explain your ranking.

As a science fair project, you want to launch an 800g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes 30m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 15.0N. The target is approaching at a speed of 15m/s. At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?

Sam (75 kg) takes off up a 50-m-high, 10­ frictionless slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200 N. He keeps his skis tilted at 10­o after becoming airborne, as shown in FIGURE CP8.66. How far does Sam land from the base of the cliff?

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will “stick” to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says “No children under 30 kg allowed.” What is the minimum angular speed, in rpm, for which the ride is safe?

A 100gbead slides along a frictionless wire with the parabolic shape y=2m-1x2.

a. Find an expression for ay, the vertical component of acceleration, in terms of x, vx, and ax. Hint: Use the basic definitions of velocity and acceleration.

b. Suppose the bead is released at some negative value ofx and has a speed of 2.3m/s as it passes through the lowest point of the parabola. What is the net force on the bead at this instant? Write your answer in component form
