Figure 8-56 shows a solid, uniform cylinder of mass 7.00 kg and radius 0.450 m with a light string wrapped around it. A 3.00-N t

ension force is applied to the string, causing the cylinder to roll without slipping across a level surface as shown. (a) What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder? (b) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the frictional force that acts on the cylinder. Figure attached below

Answer:

a) The cylinder has an angular acceleration of 3.810 radians per square second, b) The frictional force has a magnitude of 9 newtons and has the same direction of tension force.

Explanation:

The external force exerted on string creates a tension force that tries to move the cylinder in translation, but it is opposed by the friction force between cylinder and ground that generates rolling on cylinder. The Free Body Motion on cylinder-string system is presented below as attachment. Given that cylinder is a rigid body in planar motion, two equations of equilibrium for translation and an equation of equilibrium for rotation are needed to represent the system, which are now described:

\Sigma F_{x} = T + f = M\cdot R\cdot \alpha

\Sigma F_{y} = N - M\cdot g = 0

\Sigma M_{G} = (T-f)\cdot R = I_{G}\cdot \alpha

Where:

T - Tension, measured in newtons.

f - Friction force, measured in newtons.

M - Mass of the cylinder, measured in kilograms.

R - Radius of the cylinder, measured in meters.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

N - Normal force from ground exerted on cylinder, measured in newtons.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

I_{G} - Moment of inertia of the cylinder with respect to its center of mass, measured in kilogram-square meters.

The moment of inertia of the cylinder is:

I_{G} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

a) The angular acceleration is determined by solving on first and third equation after eliminating  friction force:

f = M\cdot R \cdot \alpha - T

(T-M\cdot R\cdot \alpha+T) \cdot R = I_{G}\cdot \alpha

2\cdot T\cdot R = (I_{G} + M\cdot R^{2})\cdot \alpha

\alpha = \frac{2\cdot T\cdot R}{I_{G}+M\cdot R^{2}}

\alpha = \frac{2\cdot T \cdot R}{\frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}+M\cdot R^{2} }

\alpha = \frac{4\cdot T}{3\cdot M\cdot R}

If T = 3\,N, M = 7\,kg and R = 0.45\,m, then:

\alpha = \frac{4\cdot (3\,N)}{(7\,kg)\cdot (0.45\,m)}

\alpha = 3.810\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The cylinder has an angular acceleration of 3.810 radians per square second.

b) The magnitude of the frictional force can be determined with the help of the following expression:

f = M\cdot R \cdot \alpha - T

Given that T = 3\,N, M = 7\,kg, R = 0.45\,m and \alpha = 3.810\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, the magnitude of the friction force is:

f = (7\,kg)\cdot (0.45\,m)\cdot \left(3.810\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)-3\,N

f = 9\,N

The frictional force has a magnitude of 9 newtons and has the same direction of tension force.

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

Scalars are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensio
Korolek [52]
The statement is false. Vectors are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensional motion. Scalar quantities can be used to analyze linear motion problem, but not projectile motion.

What is the force of an object with a mass of 30 kg that is free falling?
disa [49]

Answer:

F = 294.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. It is this particular case the acceleration is due to the gravitational acceleration since the body is in free fall.

Therefore we have:

F = m*g

where:

F  = force [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

F = 30*9.81

F = 294.3 [N]
