course Phy 121 assignment #032032. Moment of inertia
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:05:36 `q001. Note that this assignment contains 3 questions. The moment of inertia of a concentrated mass m lying at a distance r from the axis of rotation is m r^2. Moments of inertia are additive--that is, if an object with a moment of inertia about some axis is added to another object with its moment of inertia about the same axis, the moment of inertia of the system about that axis is found by simply adding the moments of inertia of the two objects. Suppose that a uniform steel disk has moment of inertia .0713 kg m^2 about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane. If a magnet with mass 50 grams is attached to the disk at a point 30 cm from the axis, what will be the moment of inertia of the new system?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> m = .05 kg r = .30 m I = m r^2 I = .05 kg (.30 m)^2 I = .0045 kg m^2 Total moment of inertia = .0713 kg m^2 + .0045 kg m^2 Total moment of inertia = .0758 kg m^2 confidence assessment: 2

14:05:44 A mass of m = .05 kg at distance r = .30 meters from the axis of rotation has moment of inertia I = m r^2 = .05 kg * (.30 m)^2 = .0045 kg m^2. The moment of inertia of the new system will therefore be the sum .0713 kg m^2 + .0045 kg m^2 = .0758 kg m^2 of the moments of inertia of its components, the disk and the magnet.

14:12:01 `q002. A uniform rod with mass 5 kg is 3 meters long. Masses of .5 kg are added at the ends and at .5 meter intervals along the rod. What is the moment of inertia of the resulting system about the center of the rod?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> moment of inertia = I = 1/12 M L^2 I = 1/12 * 5 kg * (3 m)^2 I = 3.75 kg m^2 Total moment of inertia is determined from these masses at distances 1.5 m, 1.0 m, .5 m, and 0 m. I = mr^2 I = .5 kg * (1.5 m)^2 I = 1.125 kg m^2 1.125 kg m^2 * 2 = 2.25 kg m^2 I = mr^2 I = .5 kg * (1 m)^2 I = .5 kg m^2 .5 kg m^2 * 2 = 1 kg m^2 I = mr^2 I = .5 kg (.5 m)^2 I = .125 kg m^2 .125 kg m^2 * 2 = .250 kg m^2 If r = 0 then I = 0 kg m^2. Added moments of inertia = 2.25 kg m^2 + 1 kg m^2 + .25 kg m^2 Added moments of inertia = 3.5 kg m^2 Total moment of inertia = 3.75 kg m^2 + 3.5 kg m^2 Total moment of inertia = 7.25 kg m^2 confidence assessment: 2

14:12:09 The rod itself, being rotated about its center, has moment of inertia 1/12 M L^2 = 1/12 * 5 kg * (3 m)^2 = 3.75 kg m^2. The added masses are at distances 1.5 meters (the two masses masses on the ends), 1.0 meters (the two masses .5 m from the ends), .5 meters (the two masses 1 m from the ends) and 0 meters (the mass at the middle of the rod) from the center of the rod, which is the axis of rotation. At 1.5 m from the center a .5 kg mass will have moment of inertia m r^2 = .5 kg * (1.5 m)^2 = 1.125 kg m^2; there are two such masses and their total moment of inertia is 2.25 kg m^2. The two masses lying at 1 m from the center each have moment inertia m r^2 = .5 kg * (1 m)^2 = .5 kg m^2, so the total of the two masses is double is, or 1 kg m^2. {}The two masses lying at .5 m from the center each have moment of inertia m r^2 = .5 kg ( .5 m)^2 = .125 kg m^2, so their total is double this, or .25 kg m^2. The mass lying at the center has r = 0 so m r^2 = 0; it therefore makes no contribution to the moment of inertia. The total moment of inertia of the added masses is therefore 2.25 kg m^2 + 1 kg m^2 + .25 kg m^2 = 3.5 kg m^2. Adding this to the he moment of inertia of the rod itself, total moment of inertia is 3.75 kg m^2 + 3.5 kg m^2 = 7.25 kg m^2. We note that the added masses, even including the one at the center which doesn't contribute to the moment of inertia, total only 3.5 kg, which is less than the mass of the rod; however these masses contribute as much to the moment of inertia of the system as the more massive uniform rod.

14:20:00 `q003. A uniform disk of mass 8 kg and radius .4 meters rotates about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane. A uniform rod with mass 10 kg, whose length is equal to the diameter of the disk, is attached to the disk with its center coinciding with the center of the disk. The system is subjected to a torque of .8 m N. What will be its acceleration and how to long will it take the system to complete its first rotation, assuming it starts from rest?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I = 1/2 M R^2 I = 1/2 * 8 kg * (.4 m)^2 I = .64 kg m^2 Rotation: I = 1/12 M L^2 I = 1/12 * 10 kg * (.8 m)^2 I = .53 kg m^2 total moment of inertia = .64 kg m^2 + .53 kg m^2 Total moment of inertia = 1.17 kg m^2 Acceleration = torque = .8 mN alpha = tau / I alpha= .8 m N / (1.17 kg m^2) alpha = .7 rad/s^2 `dt = +- `sqrt( 2 `d`theta / `alpha ) `dt = +- `sqrt( 2 * 2 `pi radians / (.7 radians/s^2)) `dt = +-`sqrt( 12.56 radians / (.7 radians/s^2) ) `dt = +-4.2 s confidence assessment: 2

14:20:05 The moment of inertia of the disk is 1/2 M R^2 = 1/2 * 8 kg * (.4 m)^2 = .64 kg m^2. The rod will be rotating about its center so its moment of inertia will be 1/12 M L^2 = 1/12 * 10 kg * (.8 m)^2 = .53 kg m^2 (approx). ( Note that the rod, despite its greater mass and length equal to the diameter of the disk, has less moment of inertia. This can happen because the mass of the disk is concentrated more near the rim than near the center (there is more mass in the outermost cm of the disk than in the innermost cm), while the mass of the rod is concentrated the same from cm to cm. ). The total moment of inertia of the system is thus .64 kg m^2 + .53 kg m^2 = 1.17 kg m^2. The acceleration of the system when subject to a .8 m N torque will therefore be `alpha = `tau / I = .8 m N / (1.17 kg m^2) = .7 rad/s^2, approx.. To find the time required to complete one revolution from rest we note that the initial angular velocity is 0, the angular displacement is 1 revolution or 2 `pi radians, and the angular acceleration is .7 rad/s^2. By analogy with `ds = v0 `dt + 1/2 a `dt^2, which for v0=0 is `ds = 1/2 a `dt^2, we write in terms of the angular quantities `d`theta = 1/2 `alpha `dt^2 so that `dt = +- `sqrt( 2 `d`theta / `alpha ) = +- `sqrt( 2 * 2 `pi rad / (.7 rad/s^2)) = +-`sqrt( 12.56 rad / (.7 rad/s^2) ) = +-4.2 sec. We choose the positive value of `dt, obtaining `dt = +4.2 sec..

14:24:15 Query experiment to be viewed. What part or parts of the system experiences a potential energy decrease? What part or parts of the system experience(s) a kinetic energy increase?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> As the mass on the string descends it loses potential energy. Kinetic Energy increases because of the wheel and the descending mass.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:24:19 ** The mass on the string descends and loses PE. The wheel and the descending mass both increase in KE, as do the other less massive parts of the system (e.g., the string) and slower-moving parts (e.g., the axel, which rotates at the same rate as the wheel but which due to its much smaller radius does not move nearly as fast as most of the wheel). **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok

14:25:13 What part or parts of the system experience(s) an increase in angular kinetic energy?

14:27:54 Does any of the bolts attached to the Styrofoam wheel gain more kinetic energy than some other bolt? Explain.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The greater gain in kinetic energy is experienced by the bolts on the outside of the wheel.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:27:59 ** The bolts toward the outside of the wheel are moving at a greater velocity relative to some fixed point, so their kinetic energy is greater since k = 1/2 m v^2 **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ok
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:30:22 What is the moment of inertia of the Styrofoam wheel and its bolts?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I = .5 mr^2 for the wheel I = mr^2 for the bolts .5 mr^2 + mr^2 = moment of inertia for wheel and bolts together
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:30:26 ** The moment of inertia for the center of its mass=its radias times angular velocity. Moment of inertia of a bolt is m r^2, where m is the mass and r is the distance from the center of mass. The moment of inertia of the styrofoam wheel is .5 M R^2, where M is its mass and R its radius. The wheel with its bolts has a moment of inertia which is equal to the sum of all these components. **

RESPONSE --> ok

14:33:27 How do we determine the angular kinetic energy of of wheel by measuring the motion of the falling mass?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Acceleration is used to find velocity which is needed to find the KE. Velocity/ radius = angular velocity = angualr kinetic energy.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:33:31 ** STUDENT ANSWER AND INSTRUCTOR CRITIQUE: The mass falls at a constant acceleration, so the wheel also turns this fast. INSTRUCTOR CRITIQUE: We don't use the acceleration to find the angular KE, we use the velocity. The acceleration, if known, can be used to find the velocity. However in this case what we are really interested in is the final velocity of the falling mass, which is equal to the velocity of the part of the wheel around which it is wound. If we divide the velocity of this part of the wheel by the its radius we get the angular velocity of the wheel. **

14:36:52 Principles of Physics and General College Physics problem 8.43: Energy to bring centrifuge motor with moment of inertia 3.75 * 10^-2 kg m^2 to 8250 rpm from rest.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Kinetic Energy of rotating object: KE = .5 I omega^2 8250 rpm = (8250 rpm) * (pi / 30 radians /s ) / rpm 8250 rpm = 860 radians / s KE_0 = 0 KE_f = .5*I*omega_f ^ 2 KE_f = .5 * 3.75 * 10^-2 kg m^2 * (860 radians / s )^2 KE_f = 250 pi^2 kg m^2 / s^2 KE_f = 14000 Joules
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:36:57 The KE of a rotating object is KE = .5 I omega^2, where I is the moment of inertia and omega the angular velocity. Since I is given in standard units of kg m^2, the angular velocity should be expressed in the standard units rad / sec. Since 8250 rpm = (8250 rpm) * (pi / 30 rad/sec) / rpm = 860 rad/sec, approx.. The initial KE is 0, and from the given information the final KE is KE_f = .5 I omega_f ^ 2 = .5 * 3.75 * 10^-2 kg m^2 * (860 rad/sec)^2 = 250 pi^2 kg m^2 / sec^2 = 14000 Joules.

14:37:01 ** The circumference of the orbit is 2pi*r = 9.42*10^8 km. We divide the circumference by the time required to move through that distance to get the speed of Earth in its orbit about the Sun: 9.42 * 10^8 km / (365days * 24 hrs / day * 3600 s / hr) =29.87 km/s or 29870 m/s. Dividing the speed by the radius we obtain the angular velocity: omega = (29.87 km/s)/ (1.5*10^8 km) = 1.99*10^-7 rad/s. From this we get the angular KE: KE = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 * 6*10^24 kg * (29870 m/s)^2 = 2.676*10^33 J. Alternatively, and more elegantly, we can directly find the angular velocity, dividing the 2 pi radian angular displacement of a complete orbit by the time required for the orbit. We get omega = 2 pi rad / (365days * 24 hrs / day * 3600 s / hr) = 1.99 * 10^-7 rad/s. The moment of inertia of Earth in its orbit is M R^2 = 6 * 10^24 kg * (1.5 * 10^11 m)^2 = 1.35 * 10^47 kg m^2. The angular KE of the orbit is therefore KE = .5 * I * omega^2 = .5 * (1.35 * 10^47 kg m^2) * (1.99 * 10^-7 rad/s)^2 = 2.7 * 10^33 J. The two solutions agree, up to roundoff errors. The angular KE of earth about its axis is found from its angular velocity about its axis and its moment of inertia about its axis. The moment of inertia is I=2/5 M r^2=6*10^24kg * ( 6.4 * 10^6 m)^2 = 9.83*10^37kg m^2. The angular velocity of the Earth about its axis is 1 revolution / 24 hr = 2 pi rad / (24 hr * 3600 s / hr) = 7.2 * 10^-5 rad/s, very approximately. So the angular KE of Earth about its axis is about KE = .5 I omega^2 = .5 * 9.8 * 10^37 kg m^2 * (7.2 * 10^-5 rad/s)^2 = 2.5 * 10^29 Joules. **

14:37:05 Query problem 8.60 uniform disk at 2.4 rev/sec; nonrotating rod of equal mass, length equal diameter, dropped concentric with disk. Resulting angular velocity?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:37:07 ** The moment of inertia of the disk is I = 2/5 M R^2; the moment of inertia of the rod about its center is 1/12 M L^2. The axis of rotation of each is the center of the disk so L = R. The masses are equal, so we find that the moments of inertia can be expressed as 2/5 M R^2 and 1/12 M R^2. The combined moment of inertia is therefore 2/5 M R^2 + 1/12 M R^2 = 29/60 M R^2, and the ratio of the combined moment of inertia to the moment of the disk is ratio = (29/60 M R^2) / (2/5 M R^2) = 29/60 / (2/5) = 29/60 * 5/2 = 145 / 120 = 29 / 24. Since angular momentum I * omega is conserved an increase in moment of inertia I results in a proportional decrease in angular velocity omega so we end up with final angular velocity = 24 / 29 * initial angular velocity = 24 / 29 * 2.4 rev / sec = 2 rev/sec, approximately.

14:37:10 Univ. 10.64 (10.56 10th edition). disks 2.5 cm and .8 kg, 5.0 cm and 1.6 kg, welded, common central axis. String around smaller, 1.5 kg block suspended. Accel of block? Then same bu wrapped around larger.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:37:12 ** The moment of inertia of each disk is .5 M R^2; the block lies at perpendicular distance from the axis which is equal to the radius of the disk to which it is attached. So the moment of inertia of the system, with block suspended from the smaller disk, is I = .5 (.8 kg) * ( .025 m)^2 + .5 * 1.6 kg * (.05 m)^2 + (1.5 kg * .025 m)^2= .0032 kg m^2 approx. The 1.5 kg block suspended from the first disk results in torque tau = F * x = .025 m * 1.5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = .37 m N approx. The resulting angular acceleration is alpha = tau / I = .37 m N / (.0032 kg m^2) = 115 rad/s^2 approx. The acceleration of the block is the same as the acceleration of a point on the rim of the wheel, which is a = alpha * r = 115 rad/s^2 * .025 m = 2.9 m/s^2 approx. The moment of inertia of the system, with block suspended from the larger disk, is I = .5 (.8 kg) * ( .025 m)^2 + .5 * 1.6 kg * (.05 m)^2 + (1.5 kg * .05 m)^2= .006 kg m^2 approx. The 1.5 kg block suspended from the first disk results in torque tau = F * x = .05 m * 1.5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = .74 m N approx. The resulting angular acceleration is alpha = tau / I = .74 m N / (.006 kg m^2) = 120 rad/s^2 approx. The acceleration of the block is the same as the acceleration of a point on the rim of the wheel, which is a = alpha * r = 120 rad/s^2 * .05 m = 6 m/s^2 approx. **
