Concept explainers
A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. (The hollow cylinder has lightweight spokes connecting it to the axle.) A rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to a block. The blocks have the same mass and are held the same height above the ground as shown in Figure Q10.20. Both blocks are released simultaneously. The ropes do not slip. Which block hits the ground first? Or is it a tie? Explain.

- A bowling ball is suspended from the ceiling of a lecture hall by a strong cord. The ball is drawn away from its equilibrium position and released from rest at the tip of the demonstrator’s nose as shown in Figure CQ8.5. The demonstrator remains stationary. (a) Explain why the ball does not strike her on its return swing. (b) Would this demonstrator be safe if the ball were given a push from its starting position at her nose?arrow_forwardYou have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.41. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring constants k1= 1600 N/m and k2 = 3400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in Figure P7.41.When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6000 kg. When you present your design to…arrow_forwardA solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles.

- A group of engineering students constructs a sun-powered car and tests on a circular track of 300-meter radius. The car with a mass of 210 kg including the passenger and the driver, starts from rest. The total tangential components of force on the car is EF, = 125 – 2.50D, where D is the distance the car travels along the track from the point where it starts. a. When D=30m, compute the work done by the car. b. When D=30m, compute for its velocity. c. What is the magnitude of the total horizontal force exerted on the car by the road when the car travels D=30m?arrow_forwardA playground ride consists of a disk of mass M=48 kg and radius R=1.6 m mounted on a low-friction axle (see figure below). A child of mass m=22 kg runs at speed v=2.8 m/s on a line tangential to the disk and jumps onto the outer edge of the disk. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the child plus the disk?arrow_forwardA figure skater on ice with arms extended, spins at a rate of 2.5 rev/s.

- Computation. The figure shows two blocks, released from rest, connected by a light string passing without slipping over a pulley with moment of inertia 0.032 kg-m² and radius 0.1 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.38. Using energy methods, find the blocks' speed after they have moved 0.22 m if M = 5.2 kg and m = 7.3 kg. V= M 11 m/s m Record your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures. Remember to include a as necessary. 31 6:37 Parrow_forward20.

(b) A red bead of mass 25 g slides along a curved wire, subject to a friction force with the same constant magnitude as that on the green bead. If the green and red beads are released simultaneously from rest at point @, which bead reaches point 8 with a higher speed? Explain.arrow_forwardA 1000 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 15m long cable.
