1. ans: 3.2 rad/s2; t = Ia
2. ans: 0.88 kg-m2/s; DL = tDt
3. ans: 11 J; KE=.5Iw2, w = aDt
4. ans: 4.1 m/s; PE(top)=total KE(bottom);
mgh = .5mv2+.5*.4mv2
notice conversion of angular to linear quantities in the last term.
5. ans: 0.42; L=Iw =constant
6. ans: 6.5 m/s2;
Use 2 equations:
1: Newton #2: mg-T = ma (gravity - tension = m*net.acceleration),
2: t = rT = Ia
= 0.5mr2a = 0.5mra
divide #2 by r to get T and substitute for T in #1.
7. ans: 27 m
Remember centripetal a = v2/r =
w2r.
Also have L = Iw
= mr2w = constant,
so r2w
= L/m = constant = 100*100*0.1 = 1000
(initial values).
Solve for w = 1000/r2.
Now go back to
centripetal a =
w2r
= 1x106/r3, = 49.
Finally, r = cuberoot (1x106/49).
