A scientist makes a device to catch baseballs. A long bar of total mass 2.2kg and length 1.2m is fixed at its center. It catches

a ball of mass 0.15kg moving at v=16m/s in a box at one of its ends. Ignore the mass of the catcher box for this problem. What is the angular velocity of the system after the ball is caught?

Answer:

ωf = 4.53 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the angular momentum:

Ib*ωb = (Ib + Ic)*ωf

Where

Ib is the inertia of the ball

ωb is the initial angular velocity of the ball

Ic is the inertia of the catcher

ωf is the final angular velocity of the system

We need to calculate first Ib, Ic, ωb:

Ib = mb*(L/2)^2=0.15*(1.2/2)^2=0.054 kg.m^2

Ic = mc/12*L^2=2.2/12*1.2^2=0.264 kg.m^2

ωb = Vb / (L/2) = 16 / (1.2/2) = 26.67 m/s

Now, ωf will be:

\omega f = \frac{Ib*\omega b}{Ib + Ic}  = 4.53rad/s

Can someone please help me with these physics problems? I just don’t even know where to start.

#1

for the block of mass 5 kg normal force is given as

F_n = mg

F_n = 5*9.8 = 49 N

friction force is given as

F_f = \mu F_n

F_f = 0.1*49 = 4.9 N

Net force is given as

F_{net} = ma

F_{net} = 5*2 = 10 N

now we know that

F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f

10 = F_{app} - 4.9

F_{app} = 14.9 N

#2

Normal force is given as

F_n = mg

F_n = 6*9.8

F_n = 58.8 N

now we know that

F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f

F_{net} = 0

as object moves with constant velocity

F_{app} = F_f = 15 N

now for coefficient of friction we can use

F_f = \mu F_n

15 = \mu * 58.8

\mu = 0.255

#3

net force upwards is given as

F = 1.2 * 10^{-4} N

mass is given as

m = 7 * 10^{-5} kg

now as per newton's law we can say

F = ma

1.2 * 10^{-4} = 7 * 10^{-5} * a

a = 1.71 m/s^2

#4

As we know that when block is sliding on rough surface

part a)

net force = applied force - frictional force

F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f

ma = F_{app} - F_f

5*6 = 40 - F_{f}

F_f = 40 - 30 = 10 N

part b)

for coefficient of friction we can use

F_f = \mu F_n

10 = \mu * F_n

here normal force is given as

F_n = mg = 5*9.8 = 49 N

now we have

\mu = \frac{10}{49} = 0.204

#5

if an object is initially at rest and moves 20 m in 5 s

so we can use kinematics to find out the acceleration

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(5^2)

a = 1.6 m/s^2

now net force is given as

F_{net} = ma

F_{net} = 10*1.6 = 16 N

#6

an object travelling with speed 25 m/s comes to stop in 1.5 s

so here acceleration of object is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{0 - 25}{1.5} = -16.67 m/s^2

now the force is gievn as

F = ma

F = 5*16.67 = 83.3 N
