Get Your Iclickers Ready: Ch. 7: Rotational Motion

This document contains a summary of key points from a chapter on rotational motion: 1) It provides an example calculation of the speed of a point on a cylinder rotating with a constant angular speed. 2) It discusses angular velocity and acceleration for a rotating object with an initial velocity and angular acceleration, finding the time when it is momentarily at rest. 3) It presents a torque problem calculating the torque a plumber applies to a wrench using the torque formula and finding the correct answer involves the angle between the force and radius vectors.

Motion in 1-D (Chapter 2)
The angular position of a rotating object is given by:
  5.0 rad  4.0 rad/s t  2.0 rad/s 2 t 2
Which statement about this object is correct?
(A) For t > 0, the object is never at rest.
(B) The object is at rest at t = 0.5 s.
(C) The object is at rest at t = 1.0 s.
(D) The object is at rest at t = 2.0 s.
(E) More than one of B, C, and D is correct.

The statements are about the object’s angular velocity (not angular
position).
We have initial angular velocity 0 = 4 rad/s and angular acceleration
 = – 4 rad/s2 (2 = 1/24), thus the equation for angular velocity is:
 = 4 – 4t, which is zero at time t = 1 s  the object is momentarily
at rest at t = 1 s.

A plumber pushes straight down on the end of a long wrench as shown.


What is the magnitude of the torque he applies about the pipe at lower
right?
(A) (0.80 m)(900 N)sin 19°
(B) (0.80 m)(900 N)cos 19°
(C) (0.80 m)(900 N)sin 71°
(D) (0.80 m)(900 N)cos 71° 
(E) Either (B) or (C)

  
Answer:   r  F sin  The angle  is between r and F :
So this angle is   90  19  71 i.e. sin71° is correct answer, but this is also
the same as cos(90°71°) = cos19°. Thus both (B) and (C) are equivalent.

A frictionless pulley, which can be modeled as a solid cylinder with a


0.30 m radius and moment of inertia I = 0.036 kg  m2, has a rope
going over it, as shown in the figure below. The tensions in the rope
are 12 N and 10 N . What is the angular acceleration of the pulley?
(A) 6.7 rad/s2
(B) 9.8 rad/s2
(C) 12.4 rad/s2 12 N
(D) 16.7 rad/s2 10 N

Answer:
 / 12 10 0.3/0.036 = 16.7 rad/s2

A lightweight string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small


hoop. If the free end of the string is held in place and the hoop is
released from rest, the string unwinds and the hoop descends. How
does the tension in the string (T) compare to the weight of the hoop
(W)?
(A) T = W
(B) T > W
(C) T < W
(D) not enough information given to decide
Answer: Since the hoop is accelerating downwards the tension in the string must be
less than the weight. (If the tension in the string equaled the weight the forces
would cancel and the acceleration would be zero.)
