A physics student of mass 51.0 kg is standing at the edge of the flat roof of a building, 12.0 m above the sidewalk. An unfriend

ly dog is running across the roof toward her. Next to her is a large wheel mounted on a horizontal axle at its center. The wheel, used to lift objects from the ground to the roof, has a light crank attached to it and a light rope wrapped around it; the free end of the rope hangs over the edge of the roof. The student grabs the end of the rope and steps off the roof.
a. If the wheel has radius 0.300 m and a moment of inertia of 9.60 kg ⋅m^2 for rotation about the axle, how long does it take her to reach the sidewalk?
b. How fast will she be moving just before she lands?

Answer:

Explanation:

The wheel and falling student will have common acceleration .

For rotational motion of wheel

Tx r = I α , T is tension in the crank , α is angular acceleration of wheel  , I is moment of inertia , r is radius of the wheel.

= I a / r

T = I a / r²

For motion of student

Mg - T = Ma , M is mass of the wheel.

Mg - I a / r²  = Ma

Mg = Ma +I a / r²

Mg = (M +I  / r²)a

a = Mg / (M +I  / r²)

= 51 x 9.8 / ( 51 + 9.6 / .3² )

499.8 / (51+ 106.67 )

= 499.8 / 157.67

= 3.17 m / s².

If time t is taken to  fall by 12 m

12 = 1/2 a t²

24 / a = t²

24 / 3.17 =t²

t²= 7.57

t = 2.75 s

velocity to reach sidewalk

v = u + at

= 3.17  x 2.75

= 8.72 m / s

The left fielder throws the baseball home from 60 m away. The ball's horizontal velocity is 30 m/s, and its vertical velocity is
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The base runner

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the time taken for the baseball and the base runner to get to the home plate. This is illustrated below:

For the baseball:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) = 60 m

Time (t) =?

s = ut

60 = 30 × t

Divide both side by 30

t = 60 / 30

t = 2 s

Thus, it will take the baseball 2 s to get to the home plate.

For the base runner:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 5 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) = 5 m

Time (t) =?

s = ut

5 = 5 × t

Divide both side by 5

t = 5 / 5

t = 1 s

Thus, it will take the base runner 1 s to get to the home plate.

SUMMARY:

Time taken for the baseball to get to the home plate = 2 s

Time taken for the base runner to get to the home plate = 1 s

From the calculations made above, we can conclude that the base runner will arrive at the home plate first because it took him 1 s to get to the home plate whereas the baseball took 2 s to get there.

A disc on a frictionless axle, starting from rest (0 rpm) can spin up to a rotation rate of 3820 rpm in a period of 2 seconds. (
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

1000 Nm

2000 Nm

1.00007 seconds

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia = 5 kgm²

\alpha = Angular acceleration

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

t = Time taken

Torque is given by

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=5\times 200\\\Rightarrow \tau=1000\ Nm

The torque of the disc would be 1000 Nm

If \alpha=400\ rad/s^2

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=5\times 400\\\Rightarrow \tau=2000\ Nm

The torque of the disc would be 2000 Nm

From equation of rotational motion

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{3820\times \frac{2\pi}{60}-0}{400}\\\Rightarrow t=1.00007\ s

It would take 1.00007 seconds to reach 3820 rpm
