Pre-lab task #1) Derive the expression for effective acceleration of a can with moment of inertia I rolling down an inclined plane
Pre-lab task #2) Derive the expression for effective acceleration of a can with moment of inertia I with internal non-conservative forces rolling down an inclined plane
Pre-lab task #3) Consider the following cases and calculate the moment of inertia and effective acceleration. In each case the can has a diameter of 3 inches.
A. An empty can with a mass of 60g. THis can be considered a thin hoop
B. A can with a mass of 460g containing a thin liquid that does not rotate with the can
C. A can with a mass of 460g containing a gooey substance that rotates with the can without dissipating energy
