A bullet with a mass m b = 13.1 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the wooden block.

The picture below shows an isolated system with a fairly massive wheel at one end, attached via its axle to a long shaft, like a bike tire on a bike frame, but the bike frame is merely a low mass 'truss.' At the other end of this long shaft is a mass of roughly the same magnitude as the wheel, so the center of gravity (CG) is roughly in the middle of the shaft. This mass is fixed to the shaft with no rotation possible. The assembly is floating motionless in 'space', with no contact to anything else.

Diagram of apparatus

If a motor on the 'truss' causes the wheel to spin in one direction, the truss would begin to spin in the other direction about the common center of mass. The net angular momentum would thus be zero both before and after the spinning commences. The wheel and the truss would rotate in the same plane. The actual rotation rate of each part is dependent upon the individual masses, wheel radius, and the length of the shaft. It is getting complex, but so far easy enough to envision in general.

Now, place into the 'truss' a mechanism that causes this long shaft to rotate on its long axis (which would be perpendicular to the spin axis) while it is still undergoing the above rotation relative to the wheel. Upon rotation at this new joint, a force is applied to the axle of the spinning wheel (and of course to the mass at the other end of the truss, too) causing each part to try to turn in the opposite direction. Given that the net angular momentum is still zero, the vector sum of the individual parts (the spinning wheel and the body as a whole rotating around its CG) must be equal and opposite. I cannot envision the result, however, nor do I have the background to derive the equations of motion of this 'whirly gig.' The best I can imagine is that the plane of overall rotation should change, with the plane of the wheel's rotation changing in the opposite direction. This would seem to result in a state where the wheel is no longer spinning in the same plane as the overall assembly, but that would seem unsustainable and perhaps unstable. How can the behavior of this system be understood?

ANALYSIS QUESTIONS

1.   Plot a graph of magnetic field B vs. the current I through the solenoid. You may launch a fresh copy of LoggerPro, or use the file "magnetic field graph' in the Lab 08 folder.

2. Determine the equation of the best-fit line, including they-intercept. Note the constants and their units.

3. For each of the measurements of Part II, calculate the number of turns per meter. Enter these values in the data table.

4. Plot a graph of magnetic field B vs. the turns per meter of the solenoid (n). Use either Graphical Analysis or graph paper.

5. How is magnetic field related to the turns/meter of the solenoid?

6. Determine the equation of the best-fit line to your graph. Note the constants and their units

7.   From Ampere's law, it can be shown that the magnetic field B inside a long solenoid is B = µ0nl where I-to is the permeability constant. Do your results agree with this equation? Explain.

8.   The permeability constant for a vacuum, I-to, has a value of 4rcx10-7 Tm/A. Assuming the equation in step 8 applies to the Slinky, obtain a value of re from your graphs, and compare with the 'theoretical' value.

9.   Was your Slinky positioned along an east-west, north-south, or on some other axis? Will this have any effect on your readings?
