| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\omega_1 = 8\,\text{rev/s}\times 2\pi\,\text{rad/rev} = 16\pi\,\text{rad/s}\] | Convert the first angular speed to radians per second using \(2\pi\,\text{rad}=1\,\text{rev}\). |
| 2 | \[\omega_2 = 6\,\text{rev/s}\times 2\pi\,\text{rad/rev} = 12\pi\,\text{rad/s}\] | Convert the second angular speed to radians per second in the same way. |
| 3 | \[v_1 = r_1\,\omega_1 = 0.60\,\text{m}\times 16\pi = 9.6\pi\,\text{m/s}\] | Use \(v = r\omega\) to find the linear speed for the \(0.60\,\text{m}\) sling. |
| 4 | \[v_2 = r_2\,\omega_2 = 0.90\,\text{m}\times 12\pi = 10.8\pi\,\text{m/s}\] | Apply the same formula for the \(0.90\,\text{m}\) sling. |
| 5 | \[\boxed{v_2 > v_1}\] | Since \(10.8\pi>9.6\pi\), the \(6\,\text{rev/s}\) case gives the greater linear speed. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[a_{c1}=r_1\,\omega_1^2\] | Centripetal acceleration is \(a_c = r\omega^2\). |
| 2 | \[a_{c1}=0.60\,(16\pi)^2 = 0.60\times256\pi^2 = 153.6\pi^2\,\text{m/s}^2\] | Substitute \(r_1=0.60\,\text{m}\) and \(\omega_1=16\pi\,\text{rad/s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{a_{c1}\approx1.5\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}^2}\] | Evaluate \(\pi^2\approx9.87\) to obtain a numerical value. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[a_{c2}=r_2\,\omega_2^2\] | Use the same centripetal acceleration formula. |
| 2 | \[a_{c2}=0.90\,(12\pi)^2 = 0.90\times144\pi^2 = 129.6\pi^2\,\text{m/s}^2\] | Insert \(r_2=0.90\,\text{m}\) and \(\omega_2=12\pi\,\text{rad/s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{a_{c2}\approx1.3\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}^2}\] | Calculate numerically to compare with part (b). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A solid sphere, solid cylinder, and a hollow pipe all have equal masses and radii. If the three of them are released simultaneously from the top of an inclined plane and do not slip, which one will reach the bottom first?
Flywheels (rapidly rotating disks) are widely used in industry for storing energy. They are spun up slowly when extra energy is available, then decelerate quickly when needed to supply a boost of energy. A flywheel, \( 20 \, \text{cm}\) in diameter can spin at \( 20 \, \text{rpm}\).
A uniform stick has length \( L \). The moment of inertia about the center of the stick is \( I_0 \). A particle of mass \( M \) is attached to one end of the stick. The moment of inertia of the combined system about the center of the stick is
A disk of radius 35 cm rotates at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad/s. How fast does a point on the rim of the disk travel (in m/s)?

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.Â
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
