An ideal monatomic gas originally at a pressure of 3x105 Pascals and 75 moles and volume 1.2 m3 & Ti is expanded isothermally to a volume of 3.5 m3 at which point it has pressure P1. It then experiences an isovolumic process to a lower pressure P2, T2. Finally, it is compressed adiabatically back to its original state and returns to its original pressure, temperature, and volume.

A cockroach of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 4.00 m that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round. Initially the cockroach and disk rotate together with an angular velocity of 0.230 rad/s. Then the cockroach walks half way to the center of the disk.

What then is the angular velocity of the cockroach-disk system? What is the ratio K/K0 of the new kinetic energy of the system to its initial kinetic energy? What accounts for the change in the kinetic energy?

A uniform disk with mass 8.5 kg and radius 8 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is stationary. The disk is initially at rest, and then a constant force 31.5N is applied to the rim of the disk. The force direction makes an angle of 35 degrees with the tangent to the rim. What is the magnitude v of the tangential velocity of a point on the rim of the disk after the disk has turned through 8.1 revolutions? The unit of the tangential velocity is m/s.

You found the two main angular velocities of the Earth: one due to the Earth's motion around the sun, and one due to its rotation about its own axis. Now let's figure out the energy and momentum associated with that motion. For the purposes of this problem, treat the Earth as a solid, uniform sphere with mass 5.97×1024 kg and radius 6.37×106 m , and assume that the Earth's orbit around the sun is circular with a radius of 1.5×1011 m .

Part A) What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun?

Part B) What is the magnitude of the Earth's angular momentum due to its orbit around the sun?

Part C) What is Earth's angular kinetic energy due to its rotation around its axis?

Part D) What is the magnitude of the Earth's angular momentum due to its rotation around its axis?

Part E) Which of the following best explains where the Earth's angular kinetic energy and momentum came from?

Remember that energy and momentum are always conserved (though energy can change forms). In other words, if you start with a certain amount of energy and momentum, you must end with the same amount of energy and momentum. By conservation of energy and momentum, the values you've calculated in this problem must have come from somewhere.

Which of the following best explains where the Earth's angular kinetic energy and momentum came from?

a. The solar system formed from a massive cloud of gas and dust, which was slowly rotating. As the cloud collapsed under its own gravitational pull, the cloud started to spin faster, just as an ice skater pulling his arms in will spin faster. Because all of the material that accreted to form the planet was rotating, the planet was rotating as well.

b. As the Earth formed, it experienced a series of collisions with asteroids and comets. These asteroids and comets hit the ball of rock that was forming into the planet off-center. Over time, the off-center collisions gradually caused the planet to rotate faster.

c. As the Moon orbits around the Earth, it creates tides on the Earth. Over time the tides have caused the Earth to rotate faster and faster.

d. Sheer force of will.

A horizontal spring with a spring constant of 190 N/cm is compressed 6.3 cm. A wooden block with a mass of 1.5 kg is placed in front of and in contact with the spring. When the spring is released it pushes the block, which slides on a frictionless horizontal surface for some distance. The block then slides up a frictionless incline of 27 degrees above the horizontal and comes to a momentary stop before sliding back down. The system is the spring, the block, the incline, and the Earth. Ignore air resistance.

A) What is the potential energy of the spring before it is released?

B) What is the kinetic energy and the speed of the block as it slides on the horizontal surface after the spring has pushed it?

C) At what height does the block stop on the incline?

D) If the incline were rough, how would the stopping height of the block compare to the stopping height when the incline is frictionless? Explain using energy.

Harry Potter (back to his normal size) has discovered that his magic wand is exactly one meter long. After some coaxing from Hermione, Harry is persuaded to mark off his wand in centimeters. Scabbers, the rat, (of mass 0.350 kg) is clinging tightly to the 70-cm mark of Harry's wand (of mass 0.100 kg.)Model Scabbers as a sphere of radius 5 cm. (He's put on a little weight lately.) as Hermionne rotates the wand in mid air, (as if on a horizontal, frictionless table) with an angular speed of 3.00 rad/s. Harry quickly calculates the moment of inertia and angular momentum of the wand-rat system when the wand is pivoted about an axis
