A small block on a frictionless horizontal surface has a mass of 0.0250 kg. It is attached to a massless cord passing through a hole in the surface. (See Figure 10.53.) The block is originally revolving at a distance of 0.300 m from the hole with an angular speed of 1.75 rad/s. The cord is then pulled from below, shortening the radius of the circle in which the block revolves to 0.150 m. You may treat the block as a particle. (a) Is

- A disk 8.00 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1200 rev/min about its central axis. Determine (a) its angular speed in radians per second, (b) the tangential speed at a point 3.00 cm from its center, (c) the radial acceleration of a point on the rim, and (d) the total distance a point on the rim moves in 2.00 s.arrow_forwardA space station is constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 5.00 104 kg. Members of the crew walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 100 m. At rest when constructed, the ring is set rotating about its axis so that the people inside experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. (See Fig. P10.52.) The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. (a) What angular momentum does the space station acquire? (b) For what time interval must the rockets be fired if each exerts a thrust of 125 N? Figure P10.52 Problems 52 and 54.arrow_forwardThe tub of a washer goes into its spin cycle, starting from rest and gaining angular speed steadily for 8.00 s, at which time it is turning at 5.00 rev/s. At this point, the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub smoothly slows to rest in 12.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn while it is in motion?arrow_forward
- Math Review (a) Convert 47.0 to radians, using the appropriate conversion ratio. (b) Convert 2.35 rad to degrees. (c) If a circle has radius 1.70 m, what is the are length subtended by a 47.0 angle? (See Sections 1.5 and 7.1.)arrow_forwardA 2.1-kg solid sphere rotates about a frictionless axis through its center. A braking force of 0.19 N is applied tangent to the sphere on its surface, causing it to decelerate at a rate of 0.85 rad/s . What is the sphere’s radius?arrow_forwardA star, spinning at a rate of 2.00 rev/s, runs out of thermonuclear fuel and suddenly contracts to 1/35 of its original radius. What is its new rate of rotation?arrow_forward
- A 135-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk, is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling the rope with a constant force of 157 N. If the merry-go-round rotates from the rest to an angular speed of 0.4 rev/s in 1.8 seconds, calculate the radius of the disk of the merry-go-round.arrow_forwardA small block with mass 0.190 kg is atlached to a string passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Figure 1). The block is originally revolving in a circle with a radius of 0.800 m about the hole with a tangential speed of 4.00 m/s. The string is then pulled slowly from below, shortening the radius of the circle in which the block revolves. The breaking strength of the string is 30.0 N Figure 1 of 1arrow_forwardTB 5. A child of mass 35 kg is sitting on a large rotating disk (100 kg and radius 2 m) in a playground. The disk is rotating at 1 revolution per second, and the child is initially sitting 0.5 meters from the center. The child carefully crawls to the edge of the disk. What is the new rotation rate?arrow_forward
- An old vinyl record is a thin plastic disk of radius 0.25 m and mass 126 g. It is freely rotating at 45 rev/min. You are able to stop the record from rotating in 6 s by pressing your finer against the rim and exerting a radially directed force of 9 N. (Recommendation: If you don't know what a vinyl record is, please do a Google search for an image to help your understanding.) What is the coefficient of kinetic frictions between the record and your finger??arrow_forwardYour roommate is working on his bicycle and has the bike upside down. He spins the 56.0 cmcm -diameter wheel, and you notice that a pebble stuck in the tread goes by three times every second. What is the pebble's acceleration? Express your answer with the appropriate units. The answer is NOT 110 49.7 49.8 or 0.63arrow_forwardNow we have a rod-shaped space station of length 1160 m and mass 7.69 x 10^6 kg, which can change its length (kind of like an old-fashioned telescope), without changing its overall mass. Suppose that the station is initially rotating at a constant rate of 2.83 rpm. If the length of the rod is reduced to 2.83 m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station? 5.25 rpm 10.94 rpm 8.75 rpm 15.32 rpmarrow_forward
