A string is wrapped around a uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R. The cylinder is released from rest with the string vertica

l and its top end tied to a fixed bar. A uniform disk, cylindrical in shape, of mass M and radius R is suspended from a string. The top end of the string is attached to a fixed bar. The string extends down through a distance h before reaching the disk, whereupon the string winds around the cylindrical body of the disk. (a) Show that the tension in the string is one-third the weight of the cylinder. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) (b) Show that the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of gravity is 2g/3. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) (c) Show that the speed of the center of gravity is 4gh 3 1/2 after the cylinder has descended through distance h. Verify your answer to (c) with the energy approach.

Answer:

a.) W/3,  b.)2g/3   c.) (4gh/3)^0.5

Explanation:

First we have to find tension in terms of torque. To do that we have to find the moment of inertia of a rigid cylinder. From Wikipedia I get:

I = 0.5mr^2

We also know the equation for torque. Let T be the tension, r be the distance, I is the moment of inertia and alpha is angular acceleration (ignore theta because it is perpendicular)

torque = I*\alpha = T*r

We can then substitute a/r for α

Therefore we get:

I*\frac{a}{r}=T*r

Isolating T and substitute the moment of inertia in for I we get

T = [0.5mr^2]a/r^2= 0.5ma

There are two known forces acting on the cylinder, gravity and tension. The sum of these two forces gives us mass times acceleration (Newton's second law)

F = ma => mg - 0.5ma = ma\\g=\frac{3}{2}a\\a = \frac{2}{3}g

This allows us to plug acceleration back into Newton's Second Law:

mg - T = m[\frac{2}{3}g]\\ T = \frac{1}{3} mg = \frac{1}{3}w

w = the weight

For part b, we solved in part a:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

For part c, we use the conservation of energy. We know that the sum of energy in the system is zero.

mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I(omega)^2 = 0\\(omega) = (\frac{v}{r})^2\\ I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2\\-gh +\frac{1}{2} v^2+\frac{1}{4} v^2 = 0\\gh = \frac{3}{4} v^2\\v = \sqrt{ \frac{4}{3}gh }

Which of the following has the most momentum?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:you riding your bike at 12m/s

Explanation: this is because momentum P = mass x velocity. With a bigger mass and a velocity of about 12m/s, you really have a great momentum.

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

Answer:

<u>Question 2</u>

<u>Part (a)</u>

Chlorine:  type of compound = chloride

Oxygen:  type of compound = oxide

<u>Part (b)</u>

The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form rust.

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms joined to one oxygen atom:  Di-hydrogen oxide.

<u>Question 3</u>

This circuit is in parallel.

The current in a parallel circuit splits into different branches then combines again before it goes back into the supply.

We are told that A₁ = 0.8 A

As the lamps have <u>equal resistance</u>, the current splits equally:

A₂ = 0.4 A

A₃ = 0.4 A

Then combines again:

A₄ = 0.8 A
