A sphere of mass m and radius r is released from rest at the top of a curved track of height H. The sphere travels down the curv

ed track and around a loop of radius R. The sphere rolls without slipping during the entire motion. Point A on the loop is at height R, and point B is at the top of the loop. The rotational inertia of the sphere is 2/5 mr 2 . Express all of your answer in parts (a) through (d) in terms of r, H, R, and physical constants, as appropriate. Assume r << R.

Explanation:

<em>(a) On the dots below, which represent the sphere, draw and label the forces (not components) that are exerted on the sphere at point A and at point B, respectively.  Each force must be represented by a distinct arrow starting on and pointing away from the dot.</em>

At point A, there are three forces acting on the sphere: weight force mg pulling down, normal force N pushing left, and static friction force Fs pushing down.

At point B, there are three forces acting on the sphere: weight force mg pulling down, normal force N pushing down, and static friction force Fs pushing right.

<em>(b) i. Derive an expression for the speed of the sphere at point A.</em>

Energy is conserved:

PE = PE + KE + RE

mgH = mgR + ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgH = mgR + ½mv² + ½(⅖mr²)(v/r)²

mgH = mgR + ½mv² + ⅕mv²

gH = gR + ⁷/₁₀ v²

v² = 10g(H−R)/7

v = √(10g(H−R)/7)

<em>ii. Derive an expression for the normal force the track exerts on the sphere at point A.</em>

Sum of forces in the radial (-x) direction:

∑F = ma

N = mv²/R

N = m (10g(H−R)/7) / R

N = 10mg(H−R)/(7R)

<em>(c) Calculate the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the translational kinetic energy of the sphere at point A.</em>

RE / KE

= (½Iω²) / (½mv²)

= ½(⅖mr²)(v/r)² / (½mv²)

= (⅕mv²) / (½mv²)

= ⅕ / ½

= ⅖

<em>(d) The minimum release height necessary for the sphere to travel around the loop and not lose contact with the loop at point B is Hmin.  The sphere is replaced with a hoop of the same mass and radius.  Will the value of Hmin increase, decrease, or stay the same?  Justify your answer.</em>

When the sphere or hoop just begins to lose contact with the loop at point B, the normal force is 0.  Sum of forces in the radial (-y) direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/R

gR = v²

Applying conservation of energy:

PE = PE + KE + RE

mgH = mg(2R) + ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgH = 2mgR + ½mv² + ½(kmr²)(v/r)²

mgH = 2mgR + ½mv² + ½kmv²

gH = 2gR + ½v² + ½kv²

gH = 2gR + ½v² (1 + k)

Substituting for v²:

gH = 2gR + ½(gR) (1 + k)

H = 2R + ½R (1 + k)

H = ½R (4 + 1 + k)

H = ½R (5 + k)

For a sphere, k = 2/5.  For a hoop, k = 1.  As k increases, H increases.

<em>(e) The sphere is again released from a known height H and eventually leaves the track at point C, which is a height R above the bottom of the loop, as shown in the figure above.  The track makes an angle of θ above the horizontal at point C.  Express your answer in part (e) in terms of m, r, H, R, θ, and physical constants, as appropriate.  Calculate the maximum height above the bottom of the loop that the sphere will reach.</em>

C is at the same height as A, so we can use our answer from part (b) to write an equation for the initial velocity at C.

v₀ = √(10g(H−R)/7)

The vertical component of this initial velocity is v₀ sin θ.  At the maximum height, the vertical velocity is 0.  During this time, the sphere is in free fall.  The maximum height reached is therefore:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

0² = (√(10g(H−R)/7) sin θ)² + 2(-g)(h − R)

0 = 10g(H−R)/7 sin²θ − 2g(h − R)

2g(h − R) = 10g(H−R)/7 sin²θ

h − R = 5(H−R)/7 sin²θ

h = R + ⁵/₇(H−R)sin²θ

Assoli18 [71]

A radar receiver indicates that a pulse return as an echo in 20 μs after it was sent. The reflecting object would be 3000 m away .

Phenomenon of hearing back our own sound is called an echo. It is due to successive reflection of sound waves from the surfaces or obstacles of large size. To hear an echo, there must be a time gap of 0.1 second in original sound and the reflected sound.

Given

time =  20 μs = 20 * 10^{-6} s

let distance to the reflecting surface be = x

total distance travelled by pulse will be  = 2x

speed = 3.0 × 10^{8} m/s

distance = speed * time

2x = 3.0 × 10^{8} * 20 * 10^{-6}

   x = 3000 m

The reflecting object would be 3000 m away

PLS HELP!!
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye by opening and closing the pupil. The iris uses muscles to change the size of the pupil. These muscles can control the amount of light entering the eye by making the pupil larger (dilated) or smaller (constricted).

In Hooke’s law, what does the x represent?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:   C

X = Displacement of the spring

Hooke's law: It states that the applied force F is proportional to the  displacement of spring .

            F ∝ x

            Where, x = displacement of spring in meters

                         F = force, measured in Newtons

In another words The force F is equal to the constant K times the disparagement.

            F = k.x

            Where k is constant and it depends on elastic material.

            Spring has restorative force.  

If the spring moves in opposite direction then,

           F = - k.x

A negative sign indicates that the spring resists and force is to the left. The compression of the spring is greater than the restoring force.  

   Example: A mass 'm' stretches a spring at a displacement x.
