A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 4.4 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul

ate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip? (c) Suppose that the turntable achieves its angular speed by starting from rest and undergoing a constant angular acceleration for 0.37 s. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction required for the seed not to slip during the acceleration period.

Answer:

a) a =0.53 m/s²

b) μ=0.054

c) μ = 0.068

Explanation:

a) If we assume that the turntable is rotating at a constant speed, the only force acting on the seed parallel to the surface, which keeps it  from following a straight line trajectory, is the centripetal force.

So, we can apply Newton's 2nd Law to the seed in this way:

Fnet = m*a = m*ac = m*ω²*r

We have the value of the angular speed, ω, in rev/min, so it is advisable to convert it to rad/sec, as follows:

ω = 33 rev/min*(1 min/60 sec)*(2*π rad/ 1 rev) = 11/10*π rad/sec

So, replacing in (1), we can solve for ac, as follows:

ac = ω²*r = (11/10)²*π²*0.044 m = 0.53 m/s²

b) Now, the centripetal force that we found above, is not a new type of force, it must be a force that explains the behavior of the seed.

As the seed does not slip, the only force acting  on it parallel to the surface, is the static  friction force, which has a maximum value, as follows:

Ff = μ*N

As there is no movement in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force must be equal and opposite to Fg, so we can write the expression for Ff as follows:

Ff = μ*m*g

Now, this force is no other than centripetal force, so we can write this equation:

Ff  = Fc ⇒ μ*m*g = m*ac

⇒ μ*g = ac

Solving for μ:

μ = ac/g = 0.53 m/s² / 9.8 m/s² = 0.054

c) During the acceleration period, added to the centripetal acceleration, as the angular speed is not constant, we will have also an angular acceleration, γ , which we can get as follows:

γ = Δω/Δt = (11/10)*π / 0.37 s = 9.34 rad/sec²

By definition of angular acceleration, there exists a fixed  relationship between the angular acceleration and the tangential acceleration (same as the one between angular and tangential speed), as follows:

at = γ*r = 9.34 rad/sec²*0.044 m = 0.41 m/s

When the turntable has reached to its maximum angular velocity, it will have also the maximum value of the centripetal acceleration, which we have just found out.

So, the magnitude of the total acceleration (at the moment of maximum acceleration) as they are perpendicular each  other) , is given by the following expression:

a = √(ac)²+(at)² = 0.67 m/s²

Now, as friction force opposes to the relative movement between surfaces (the seed and the turntable), it shall be larger than the product of the mass times the total acceleration, acting along  the same action line, so we can say:

Ffmin = μ*m*g = m*a

⇒ μmin = a/g = 0.67 m/s²/9.8 m/s² = 0.068

A 70 kg hunter, standing on frictionless ice, shoots a 42 g bullet horizontally at a speed of 590 m/s . Part A Part complete Wha
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hunter = 70 kg

Mass of bullet = 42 g = 0.042 kg

Speed of bullet = 590 m/s

We need to calculate the recoil speed of hunter

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

Where,m_{1} = mass of hunter

m_{2} = mass of bullet

u = initial velocity

v = recoil velocity

Put the value in the equation

0+0=70\times v_{1}+0.042\times590

v_{1}=-\dfrac{0.042\times590}{70}

v=-0.354\ m/s

Hence, The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.
