A dentist causes the bit of a high-speed drill to accelerate from an angular speed of 1.46 x 104 rad/s to an angular speed of 3.29 x 104 rad/s. In the process, the bit turns through 3.02 x 104 rad. Assuming a constant angular acceleration, how long would it take the bit to reach its maximum speed of 9.56 x 104 rad/s, starting from rest?

A hollow sphere is released from the top of an inclined plane of inclination theta. (a) What should be the minimum coefficient of friction between the plane and the sphere to prevent it from sliding? (b) Find the kinetic energy of the sphere as it moves down a length l on the incline if the friction coefficient is half the value calculated in part (a).

In class, you have seen how to calculate the maximum speed for a car to go around a flat curve (with friction), and for a banked curve (without friction). Here, you will consider the general case. (For each question part below, include a free-body diagram.) a) (3 points) Explain briefly why the car can go around the banked curve safely even without friction, and why that is not the case for the flat curve. b) (5 points) Now consider a curve that is banked so that a car can safely take it at a speed of 85 km/h, even if there were no friction. Assuming the radius of the curve is 68 m, calculate the angle at which it has been built. c) (6 points) For the banked curve, calculate the maximum speed that a car can have to safely go through it if the coefficient of static friction is 0.3. What will happen if the car is faster? d) (6 points) For the same curve, calculate the minimum speed the car must have to safely make it through. What will happen if the car is slower?

A doppler meter of frequency 3 MHz (accurate to +/ - 10 Hz) is used to monitor the heart rate of a fetus in early pregnancy (8 – 10 weeks). Determine the maximum positive and negative shift in ultrasound frequency detected by the meter due to the heart motion. For a simplified model, take the main fetal heart muscle to move like a mass on a spring undergoing Simple Harmonic Motion, with a maximum distance (amplitude) x max = A = 1.0 mm and a frequency, f = 150 beats/min. Take the speed of ultrasound in the body to be v =1540 m/s. Method: write a sine function that describes the motion of the heart muscle. 2.determine the maximum positive and negative velocity of the heart muscle by differentiating your equation 3.use the doppler equation to determine the corresponding frequency shifts.

In the last lab, we learned how an AC electromagnetic field can produce circulating eddy currents within a bulk conductor, such as a ferromagnetic core inside a coil. These eddy currents require energy to produce, and therefore cause efficiency losses in some devices. How do we reduce eddy current losses in transformers?
a. |
Eddy current losses are reduced by using transformer coils of special wire. |
|
b. |
Rather than solid metal, transformer cores are made from thin, ferromagnetic laminations. |
|
c. |
A reduction in energy losses is important to transformer design. |
|
d. |
Eddy currents only circulate in a vertical plane, so they are reduced by mounting the transformer on its side. |
|
e. |
The ferromagnetic core of the transformer is covered with a non-conductive coating. |
