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 -->

When the paper clip falls, PE decreases. When the wheel spins and the paper clip falls, they both have an increase in KE.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

10:12:24

** 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). **

10:16:46

Does any of the bolts attached to the Styrofoam wheel gain more kinetic energy than some other bolt? Explain.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Rotational KE = I * w^2 = (mr^2)w^2

Therefore, the bolts further out on the wheel will gain more KE because of their radius from the center. All objects on the wheel will experience the same angular velocity, because all point cover the same angle change in the same amount of time.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

10:16:51

** 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 **

10:22:55

What is the moment of inertia of the Styrofoam wheel and its bolts?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Summation of all Inertia of all objects on the wheel.

I = SUM(m * r^2)

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

10:25:08

** 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. **

11:18:16

How do we determine the angular kinetic energy of of wheel by measuring the motion of the falling mass?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

by determing the amount of time it takes for the paper clip to fall, we can establish dt. Then we determine the change in angle or radian, and use the formula:

w = dtheta / dt

That symbol is omega, not w. OK to use w here--I can tell what you mean--but on paper write it correctly, using rounded rather than pointy strokes. and this 'omega', not 'w'.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:20:08

** 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. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Oh I forgot, tehn we taek our value for total inertia (I) and multiply it by our value for w.

KE = .5(I)(w^2)

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 -->

If I equals 3.75 * 10^-2 kg*m^2 and w = 8250rpm, we must convert the value for rpm to rad/s to calculate KE.

w = 8250 rpm * (2 * pi / 60sec/min) = 863.94 rad/s

Now time to calculate for KE:

KE = .5Iw^2

KE = .5(3.75 * 10^-2 kg m^2)(863.94 rad/s)^2

KE = 13994.86 J

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:07:02

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.

Query gen problem 8.58 Estimate KE of Earth around Sun (6*10^24 kg, 6400 km rad, 1.5 * 10^8 km orb rad) and about its axis.

What is the angular kinetic energy of the Erath due to its rotation about the Sun?

What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its rotation about its axis?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

We have to find the circumference and then use the time required to make this orbit to be able to determine the speed.

Circumference = 2 * pi * r

Cir = 2 * pi * 1.5 * 10^8

Cir = 9.42 * 10^8 km

Now we must find the speed in rad/s

9.42 * 10^8 / 365days / 24 hours / 60 min / 60 sec = 29.89 km/s

v = w * r

w = v / r

w = 29.89 km/s / 1.5 * 10^8 km

w = 1.99 * 10^9 rad/s

should be 29.89 km/s / (1.5 * 10^8 km) = 1.99 * 10^-7 rad/s

KE = .5 * I * w^2

KE = .5(m)(r^2)(w^2)

KE = .5(5.98 * 10^24 kg)(6380 km)^2 * (1.99 * 10^9 rad/s)

KE = 4.82 * 10^50 J

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:41:04

** 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. **

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 -->

If the disk spins at 2.4rps thne we must put it in rad/s by multiplying it by 2pi.

2.4rps * 2Pi = 15.08 rad/s

w = 15.08 rad/s

We are given no values for the disk or the rod.

-We know that the masses are equal(So the mass is now double: 2m)

-We know that the length of the rod is equal to the diameter of the disk.(length = 2r)

The disk equals

.5mr^2

The rod:

1/12 ml^2

So to find inertia we add these 2 formulas.

1/2(mr^2) + 1/12(m)(2r)^2

= 7/12(2m)(3r)^2

It looks like you added the 1/2 to the 1/12 and the m r^2 to the 2 m r^2. This isn't the correct way to add the exprsesions. Find a common denominator. I think you'll get 5/6 m r^2.

Except for this your solution works. See also my corrected solution below.

I am lost on this one, but I am going to go for it.

.5(mr^2)(15.08 rad/s)^2 = 7/12(2m)(3r)^2(w)^2

(simplify)

113.7 (rad/s)^2(mr^2) = 7/12(2m)(3r)^2(w)^2

(divide by mr^2)

113.7 (rad/s)^2 = 7/12(2)(9)(w)^2

(simplify)

113.7 (rad/s)^2 = 10.5(w)^2

(divide by 10.5)

10.83 rad/s = w^2

w = sqrt(10.83 (rad/s)^2)

w = 3.29 rad/s

or 0.523 rev/s

** 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.

Corrected solution:

** The moment of inertia of the disk is I = 1/2 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. L = diameter = 2 * R. The masses are equal, so we find that the moments of inertia can be expressed as 1/2 M R^2 and 1/12 M (2R)^2 = 1/3 M R^2.

The combined moment of inertia is therefore 1/2 M R^2 + 1/3 M R^2 = 5/6 M R^2, and the ratio of the combined moment of inertia to the moment of the disk is

ratio = (5/6 M R^2) / (1/2 M R^2) = 5/6 / (1/2) = 5/6 * 2/1 = 5/3.

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 = 3/5 * initial angular velocity = 3/5 * 2.4 rev / sec = 1.4 rev/sec, approximately.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I dont think your answer can work, but I could be wrong.

A disk is .5mr^2

A sphere is 2/5(mr^2)

And length is twice of r.

both masses would be twice the original mass.

** 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. **
