A student sitting at rest on a chair that is free to rotate holds a spinning bicycle wheel that rotates in the horizontal plane, shown in a). When the student flips the bicycle wheel over, as shown in b), he will

Prompt for the question...

spin in the same direction as the flipped bicycle wheel.

spin in the opposite direction as the flipped bicycle wheel.

not spin at all.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Applying Conservation of Angular Momentum,

Initial Angular Momentum = Final Angular Momentum

Now since, Angular Momentum direction is reversed due to change spinning direction of wheel, Student will start spinning in opposite direction to the flipped bicycle wheel, to maintain the Angular momentum

ans: spin in the opposite direction as the flipped bicycle wheel

A wheel free to rotate about its axis that is not frictionless is initially at rest. A constant external torque of +53 N·m is applied to the wheel for 21 s, giving the wheel an angular velocity of +624 rev/min. The external torque is then removed, and the wheel comes to rest 120 s later. (Include the sign in your answers.) (a) Find the moment of inertia of the wheel. (b) Find the frictional torque, which is assumed to be...

The wheel of an engine starts to rotate from rest with uniform angular acceleration. It accelerates angularly for an unknown time (t1) until reaching an angular velocity of 45.13 rad / s, then maintains that angular velocity constant for 37.8 s. The total angle traveled by the wheel in total is 2398.61 rad. a) What is the angular acceleration with which the wheel began to rotate? b) What is the time (t1) that the wheel was accelerating? c) What is...
