Question 8: Unspooling Thread (100 points) A 110 g spool of thread with a 4.2 cm radius is held up by a peg through its center a

nd allowed to freely rotate. Assume the thread is ideal (i.e., it does not stretch or slip, and its mass is negligibly small). A 160 g needle is tied to the loose end of the thread. The needle is dropped, and it accelerates to the floor as the thread unwinds. Find the tension in the thread and the magnitude of the acceleration of the needle as it falls.

Answer:

   a = 7.29 m / s²,      T = 0.40 N

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must apply Newton's second law to each body

The needle

              W -T = m a

              mg - T = ma

The spool, which we will approach by a cylinder

             Σ τ = I α

             T R = I α

the moment of inertia of a cylinder with an axis through its center is

             I = ½ M R²

angular and linear variables are related

            a = α R

            α = a / R

we substitute

           T R = (½ M R²) a / R

            T = ½ M a

we write our system of equations together

              mg - T = m a

                      T = ½ M a

we solve

              m g = (m + ½ M) a

              a = \frac{m}{m + \frac{1}{2} M}  \ g

let's calculate

              a = \frac{0.160}{0.160 + \frac{1}{2} 0.110} \ 9.8

              a = 7.29 m / s²

now we can look for the tension

              T = ½ M a

              T = ½ 0.110 7.29

               T = 0.40 N

<span>Kinematics is used in this problem. The mass does not matter here because the question is mass independent. vi = 0 vf = x d = ? d = vi + 1/2 a t^2 d = 0 + 1/2 (9.8) (1.8)^2 d = 15.9 m (counting sig figs)</span>

Answer:

scalar is having only magnitude, not direction.

Vector is a quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another.

you find the differences of both of them i actually kinda gave it to you.
