ROTATION, ROLLING, TORQUE AND ANGULAR MOMENTUM.

(Section 10 & 11)1
Task #1. (CH10, T13) A flywheel turns through 40 rev as it slows from an angular speed of 1.5 rad/s
to a stop. (a) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, find the time for it to come to rest. (b)What
is its angular acceleration? (c) How much time is required for it to complete the first 20 of the 40
revolutions?
Task #2. (CH10, T32) A car starts from rest and moves around a circular track of radius 30.0 m. Its
speed increases at the constant rate of 0.500 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of its net linear
acceleration 15.0 s later? (b) What angle does this net acceleration vector make with the car’s
velocity at this time?
Task #3. (CH10, T41) In Fig. 1, two particles, each with mass m = 0.85 kg, are fastened to each other,
and to a rotation axis at O, by two thin rods, each with length d = 5.6 cm and mass M = 1.2 kg. The
combination rotates around the rotation axis with the angular speed ω = 0.30 rad/s. Measured about
O, what are the combination’s (a) rotational inertia and (b) kinetic energy?

Task #4. (CH10, T51) In Fig. 2, block 1 has mass m1=460g , block 2 has mass
m2=500g , and the pulley, which is mounted on a horizontal axle with
negligible friction, has radius R = 5.00 cm. When released from rest block
2 falls 75.0 cm in 5.00 s without the cord slipping on the pulley. (a) What
is the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks? What are (b) tension T2
and (c) tension T1? (d) What is the magnitude of the pulley’s angular
acceleration? (e) What is its rotational inertia?

Task #5. (CH10, T66) A uniform spherical shell of mass M= 4.5 kg and radius R= 8.5 cm can rotate
about a vertical axis on frictionless bearings (Fig. 3). A massless cord passes around the equator of
the shell, over a pulley of rotational inertia I = 3.0 x 10-3 kg∙m2 and radius r = 5.0 cm, and is attached
to a small object of mass m = 0.60 kg. There is no friction on the pulley’s axle; the cord does not
slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the object when it has fallen 82 cm after being released
from rest? Use energy considerations.

Task #6. (CH11, T7) In Fig. 4, a solid cylinder of radius 10 cm and mass 12 kg starts from rest and
rolls without slipping a distance L=6.0 m down a roof that is inclined at angle Θ=30°. (a) What is
the angular speed of the cylinder about its center as it leaves the roof? (b) The roof’s edge is at
height H = 5.0 m. How far horizontally from the roof’s edge does the cylinder hit the level ground?

Task #7. (CH11, T10) A hollow sphere of radius 0.15 m, with rotational inertia I = 0.040 kgm2 about
a line through its center of mass, rolls without slipping up a surface inclined at 30° to the horizontal.
At a certain initial position, the sphere’s total kinetic energy is 20 J. (a) How much of this initial
kinetic energy is rotational? (b) What is the speed of the center of mass of the sphere at the initial
position? When the sphere has moved 1.0 m up the incline from its initial position, what are (c) its
total kinetic energy and (d) the speed of its center of mass?
Task #8. (CH11, T14) In Fig. 5, a small, solid, uniform ball is to be shot from point P so that it rolls
smoothly along a horizontal path, up along a ramp, and onto a plateau. Then it leaves the plateau
horizontally to land on a game board, at a horizontal distance d from the right edge of the plateau.
The vertical heights are h1 = 5.00 cm and h2 = 1.60 cm. With what speed must the ball be shot at
point P for it to land at d = 6.00 cm?

Task #9. (CH11, T53) In Fig. 6 (an overhead view), a uniform thin rod of length 0.500 m and mass
4.00 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. The rod is at rest
when a 3.00 g bullet traveling in the rotation plane is fired into one end of the rod. In the view from
above, the bullet’s path makes angle Θ=60.0° with the rod (Fig. 5). If the bullet lodges in the rod
and the angular velocity of the rod is 10 rad/s immediately after the collision, what is the bullet’s
speed just before impact?
