The bicyclist accelerates with magnitude a such that

25.0 m = 1/2 a (4.90 s)²

Solve for a :

a = (25.0 m) / (1/2 (4.90 s)²) ≈ 2.08 m/s²

Then her final speed is v such that

v ² - 0² = 2a (25.0 m)

Solve for v :

v = √(2 (2.08 m/s²) / (25.0 m)) ≈ 10.2 m/s

Convert to mph. If you know that 1 m ≈ 3.28 ft, then

(10.2 m/s) • (3.28 ft/m) • (1/5280 mi/ft) • (3600 s/h) ≈ 22.8 mi/h

An object is formed by attaching a uniform, thin rod with a mass of mr = 6.85 kg and length L = 5.76 m to a uniform sphere with

Ket [755]

Answer:

Part a)

$I = 1879.7 kg m^2$

Part b)

$\alpha = 0.70 rad/s^2$

Part c)

$I = 153.8 kg m^2$

Part 4)

angular acceleration will be ZERO

Part 5)

$I = 345.6 kg m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the system about left end of the rod is given as

$I = \frac{m_r L^2}{3} + (\frac{2}{5} m_s R^2 + m_s(R + L)^2)$

So we have

$I = \frac{m_r(4R)^2}{3} + (\frac{2}{5}(5m_r) R^2 + (5m_r)(R + 4R)^2)$

$I = \frac{16}{3}m_r R^2 + (2m_r R^2 + 125 m_rR^2)$

$I = (\frac{16}{3} + 127)m_r R^2$

$I = (\frac{16}{3} + 127)(6.85)(1.44)^2$

$I = 1879.7 kg m^2$

Part b)

If force is applied to the mid point of the rod

so the torque on the rod is given as

$\tau = F\frac{L}{2}$

$\tau = 460(2R)$

$\tau = 460 \times 2 \times 1.44$

$\tau = 1324.8 Nm$

now angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{1324.8}{1879.7}$

$\alpha = 0.70 rad/s^2$

Part c)

position of center of mass of rod and sphere is given from the center of the sphere as

$x = \frac{m_r}{m_r + m_s}(\frac{L}{2} + R)$

$x = \frac{m_r}{6 m_r}(3R) = \frac{R}{2}$

so moment of inertia about this position is given as

$I = \frac{m_r L^2}{12} + m_r(\frac{L}{2} + \frac{R}{2})^2 + (\frac{2}{5} m_s R^2 + m_s(\frac{R}{2})^2)$

so we have

$I = \frac{m_r (16R^2)}{12} + m_r(\frac{5R}{2})^2 + \frac{2}{5}(5m_r)R^2 + (5m_r)(\frac{R^2}{4})$

$I = m_r R^2(\frac{16}{12} + \frac{25}{4} + 2 + \frac{5}{4})$

$I = 6.85(1.44)^2\times 10.83$

$I = 153.8 kg m^2$

Part 4)

If force is applied parallel to the length of rod

then we have

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

$\tau = 0$

so angular acceleration will be ZERO

Part 5)

moment of inertia about right edge of the sphere is given as

$I = \frac{m_r L^2}{12} + m_r(\frac{L}{2} + 2R)^2 + (\frac{2}{5} m_s R^2 + m_s(R)^2)$

so we have

$I = \frac{m_r (16R^2)}{12} + m_r(4R)^2 + \frac{2}{5}(5m_r)R^2 + (5m_r)(R^2)$

$I = m_r R^2(\frac{16}{12} + 16 + 2 + 5)$

$I = 6.85(1.44)^2\times 24.33$

$I = 345.6 kg m^2$

Work is done when spring is extended or compressed. Elastic potential energy is stored in the spring. Provided inelastic deformation has not happened, the work done is equal to the elastic potential energy stored.
