AP-C 10 Problems for Review: Rotation and Moment of Inertia

(#1) A solid disk of mass 0.11 kg & radius 0.53 m starts at rest and is given a constant torque of 0.023 N*m for 5.0 sec. (a) Calculate the moment of inertia of the disk. (b) Calculate the angular acceleration of the disk. (c) Through what angle (in radians) will the disk rotate in 5 seconds? (d) How many complete rotations does your answer to (b) represent? (e) What is the final angular velocity of the disk? (f) Convert your answer from (e) into RPMs (rotations per minute): (g) If this disk were a pendulum that swung around an axis located at the edge, find the period T. (#2) A hoop of mass 0.74 kg and radius 0.43 m is at the top of a 2.0 m high inclined plane. It starts at rest, and then rolls without slipping down to the bottom. (a) Calculate the moment of inertia of the hoop. (b) Using conservation of energy, find the hoops angular velocity at the bottom of the incline. (c) If this hoop were a pendulum that swung around an axis located at the edge, find the period T. (#3) A bowling ball, which can be assumed to be a solid sphere, has a mass of 7.1 kg and a radius of 0.24 m. (a) Calculate the moment of inertia of the ball. (b) If the ball is given 6.2 J of KE, and it rolls without slipping, then what is its velocity? (c) If this ball were a pendulum that swung around an axis located at the edge, find the period T. (#4) The Earth turns at a rate of once every 24 hours. The Earths mass is 6 x 10 24 kg, and its radius is 6.37 x 106 meters. (a) If the rotation were to be decelerated at a rate of 1 radian/year 2, how many years would pass by before the Earth had stopped spinning? (b) Calculate the force (applied at the equator and against the Earths direction of rotation) which would be needed to make this deceleration happen. (#5) A solid disk of mass 1.5 kg and radius 0.5 m starts at rest. A string is wrapped around it and is pulled with a constant force of 2.0 N for 3.0 seconds. (a) Calculate the angular acceleration of the disk. (b) Through what angle (in radians) will the disk rotate in 3 seconds? (c) How many complete rotations does your answer to (b) represent? (d) What is the final angular velocity of the disk? (e) Convert your answer to (d) into RPMs (rotations per minute). (#6)
