Additional problems

A marble is rolling across the floor at a speed of 7.0 m/s when it starts up a plane inclined at 30 ° to the horizontal. (a) How far along the plane does the marble travel before coming to a rest? (b) How much time elapses while the marble moves up the plane?

Repeat the preceding problem replacing the marble with a hollow sphere. Explain the new results.

a CM = 3 10 g ,
v 2 = v 0 2 + 2 a CM x v 2 = ( 7.0 m / s ) 2 2 ( 3 10 g ) x , v 2 = 0 x = 8.34 m;
b. t = v v 0 a CM , v = v 0 + a CM t t = 2.38 s ;
The hollow sphere has a larger moment of inertia, and therefore is harder to bring to a rest than the marble, or solid sphere. The distance travelled is larger and the time elapsed is longer.

The mass of a hoop of radius 1.0 m is 6.0 kg. It rolls across a horizontal surface with a speed of 10.0 m/s. (a) How much work is required to stop the hoop? (b) If the hoop starts up a surface at 30 ° to the horizontal with a speed of 10.0 m/s, how far along the incline will it travel before stopping and rolling back down?

Repeat the preceding problem for a hollow sphere of the same radius and mass and initial speed. Explain the differences in the results.

a. W = −500.0 J ;
b. K + U grav = constant ,
500 J + 0 = 0 + ( 6.0 kg ) ( 9.8 m / s 2 ) h ,
h = 8.5 m, d = 17.0 m ;
The moment of inertia is less for the hollow sphere, therefore less work is required to stop it. Likewise it rolls up the incline a shorter distance than the hoop.

(a) What is the angular momentum of the Moon in its orbit around Earth? (b) How does this angular momentum compare with the angular momentum of the Moon on its axis? Remember that the Moon keeps one side toward Earth at all times.

a. d M = 3.85 × 10 8 m average distance to the Moon; orbital period 27.32 d = 2.36 × 10 6 s ; speed of the Moon 2 π 3.85 × 10 8 m 2.36 × 10 6 s = 1.0 × 10 3 m / s ; mass of the Moon 7.35 × 10 22 kg ,
L = 2.90 × 10 34 kg m 2 / s ;
b. radius of the Moon 1.74 × 10 6 m ; the orbital period is the same as (a): ω = 2.66 × 10 −6 rad / s ,
L = 2.37 × 10 29 kg · m 2 / s ;
The orbital angular momentum is 1.22 × 10 5 times larger than the rotational angular momentum for the Moon.
