Show that the moment of inertia of a spherical shell of radius R and mass M...

Show that the moment of inertia of a spherical shell of radius R and mass M about an axis through its centre is 2/3 MR2. Show also that the moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere of radius R and mass M is 2/5MR2. The spheres are allowed to roll (from rest), without slipping a distance L down a plane inclined at a angle θ to the horizontal. Find expressions for the speeds of the spheres at the bottom...

Find the moment of inertia of a circular disk of radius R and mass M that...

Find the moment of inertia of a circular disk of radius R and mass M that rotates on an axis passing through its center. [Answer: ½ MR2] Step 1: Pictorial representation: Sketch a neat picture to represent the situation. Step 2: Physical representation: 1) Cut the disk into many small rings as it has the circular symmetry. 2) Set up your coordinate system and choose its origin at the pivot point (or the axle location) for convenience. Then choose a...

A hollow ball has mass M=2.0kg, radius R=0.35m, and moment of inertia about the center of mass I=(2/3)MR2. The ball is thrown without bouncing, to the right with an initial speed 2.0m/s and backspin. The hoop moves across the rough floor (coefficient of sliding friction = 0.25) and returns to its original position with a speed of 0.5 m/s. All surfaces and the hoop may be treated as ideally rigid. Develop an expression for angular velocity of the hoop as...

A thin uniform disk of radius r and mass m is spinning about its center at...

A thin uniform disk of radius r and mass m is spinning about its center at angular speed ω0. The disk is placed flat on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the surface is μ and constant for the entire area of contact. a) Find the frictional torque on the disk. (Hint: Divide the disk into many concentric rings.) b) How long will it take the disk to come to rest?

A space station is approximately a ring of radius,R, and mass m, which rotates about its symmetry axis with angular velocity,~ω=ω0ˆe3. A meteor is traveling with momentum,~p, that is parallel to the original ˆe3, and strikes the space station at a point on the rim,transferring the entire momentum to the space station (an inelastic collision where the meteor sticks to the space station). Further, though the meteor has significant momentum,it is of very small mass so that the moment of...

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.98 m and moment of inertia I = 193 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of ω = 1.45 rad/s in the counter clockwise direection when viewed from above. A person with mass m = 67 kg and velocity v = 4.9 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry-go-round. Once at the merry-go-round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of the merry-go-round. 1)...

A thin, uniform disk with mass M and radius R is pivoted about a fixed point a distance x from the center of mass. The disk rotates around the fixed point, with the axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the disk. What is the period as a function of x, M, R, and acceleration due to gravity (g), and what is the distance x that gives the smallest period?

Consider a thin uniform disk of mass M and radius R. A mass m is located along the axis of the disk at a distance z from the center of the disk. The gravitational force on the mass m (in terms of m, M, R, G, and z) is

A sphere of mass M, radius r, and moment of inertial I = Mr2 (where is a dimensionless constant which depends on how the mass is distributed in the sphere) is placed on a track at a height h above the lowest point on the track. The sphere is released, and rolls without slipping. It reaches a horizontal surface which subsequently bends into a vertical loop-the-loop of radius R, as in Fig. 2 below. a) When it reaches the top...
