5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co

mpressing it by a distance d. It is then released and rolls without slipping on a track, and through a vertical loop of radius RL. Assume RC << RL
(a) When the cylinder reaches the top of the vertical loop, what is the minimum (linear) speed it must have to avoid falling off? Draw a free-body diagram to support your answer.
(b) What is the minimum compression of the spring necessary to prevent the cylinder falling off?
(c) Perform two “Cross-checks” on you solutions to check the validity of your solution, and/or examine the behavior of the system.

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will
evablogger [386]

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using  to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s

s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1

For car B

0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b

s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}

thus s_b=4\cdot s_a

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A

what is the acceleration of each body of mass 5kg rests on a frictionless table and is connected to a cable that passes over a p
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

6.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.

Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:

T = m₁a               (1)

m₂g - T = m₂a    (2)

substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:

m₂g - m₁a = m₂a

m₂a + m₁a = m₂g

a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g

a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)

a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²

Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²
