Chapter 12: Q. 88 (page 335)

In FIGURE CP12.88, a 200 g toy car is placed on a narrow 60-cm-diameter track with wheel grooves that keep the car going in a circle. The 1.0 kg track is free to turn on a frictionless, vertical axis. The spokes have negligible mass. After the car’s switch is turned on, it soon reaches a steady speed of 0.75 m/s relative to the track. What then is the track’s angular velocity, in rpm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Angular velocity is 3.974 rev /min

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of the toy =200 g =0.2 kg
Diameter of the track =60 cm =0.6 m
So radius of track =0.3 m
Mass of the frictionless track= 1 kg
Speed relative to track (v)=0.75m/s

02

Explanation

First find the angular speed

ω=vr⇒ω=0.75(m/s)(0.3m)=2.5rad/sec......................(1)

From The law of conservation of angular momentum is constant

L = L'

Momentum = I x angular velocity

Iω=I'ω'⇒Ir2ω=Mr2+mr2ω'⇒ω'=Ir2ω(M+m)r2.....................................(2)

Now substitute the given values

⇒ω'=(0.2)(2.5m/s)(1kg+0.2kg)⇒ω'=0.416rad/s⇒ω'=0.4162π×60⇒ω'=3.974revolution/min

Angular speed is 3.974 rev/min.

A cylinder of radius R, length L, and mass M is released from rest on a slope inclined at angle θ. It is oriented to roll straight down the slope. If the slope were frictionless, the cylinder would slide down the slope without rotating. What minimum coefficient of static
friction is needed for the cylinder to roll down without slipping?

A toy gyroscope has a ring of mass M and radius R attached to the axle by lightweight spokes. The end of the axle is distance R from the center of the ring. The gyroscope is spun at angular velocity v, then the end of the axle is placed on a support that allows the gyroscope to precess. a. Find an expression for the precession frequency Ω in terms of M, R, v, and g. b. A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
