Q1. The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3100rpm in 2.8s.What is the crankshaft's angular acceleration?


Q2. A frictionless pulley, which can be modeled as a 0.83kg solid cylinder with a 0.30m radius, has a rope going over it, The tensions in the rope are 12N and 10N . What is the angular acceleration of the pulley?


Q3. A 1.2g pebble is stuck in a tread of a 0.73m -diameter automobile tire, held in place by static friction that can be at most 3.3N . The car starts from rest and gradually accelerates on a straight road. How fast is the car moving when the pebble flies out of the tire tread?

Solutions

Expert Solution

(1)

Change rpm to radians/s; then find the angular acceleration

3100rpm =3100r/m
3100r/m x 1m/60s x (2pi)rad/r = [6200(pi)/60]rad/s = 103.3pi rad/s

angular acc. =(103.3pi rad/s)/2.8s


angular acc.=116 rad/s^2


(2)

the difference in tensions in the pulley causes a net torque

the net torque is (T2-T1) R = 2 N x 0.3 m = 0.6 Nm

the torque on an object causes an angular acceleration given by

torque = I alpha where I is the moment of inertia and alpha the angular acceleration

the moment of inertia of a cylinder is 1/2 MR^2, so for this pulley

I = 1/2 (0.83kg)(0.3m)^2

I= 0.03735

finally, ang accel= net torque/I

=0.6/0.03735


= 16.06 rad/s/s



(3)

The maximum static friction (3.3 N) is your centripetal force, is the force pulling the pebble, making it stay.

F = ma, and for the centripetal force F = mv^2/r.
Your maximum F is 3.3 N, mass and radius can't be changed,

The transition takes place at:
v = sqrt(F*r/m)

v= sqrt((3.3*0.73)/0.0012)

v= 44.80m/s

In a Laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 8.70 rev/s in 6.80 s. You lift the lid of the washer the instant the angular speed reaches the maximum value, and notice that the tub decelerates and comes to a stop in 13.5 s. Assuming that the tub rotates with constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping, determine the total number of revolutions undergone by...

During a Tatooine speeder race, Dannik Jerriko starts from rest and accelerates constantly for a time T, reaching a speed of 50 m/s. He then gives his engine to Garindan to use in his speeder, which (including the engine) is twice the mass of Dannik’s speeder. If Garindan also starts from rest and accelerates constantly, how fast will he be going after the same amount of time T?
