A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 2.0 rev/s. The wheel can be considered a uniform disk of mass 4.9 kg and diameter 0.40m. The potter then throws a 2.7 kg chucnk of clay, approximately shaped as a flat disk of radius 8.0 cm, onto the center of the rotating wheel.
What is the frequency of the wheel after the clay sticks to it? Ignore friction/.
By conservation of angular momentum:
I ?initial = I?final
The moment of inertia for wheel is,
Iwheel = (1/2) M R2
= (1/2) * 4.9 * 0.202
= 0.098
The moment of inertia for clay is,
Iclay = (1/2) M R2
= (1/2) * 2.7* 0.082
= 0.00864
Therefore,
Iwheel * ?initial = (Iwheel + Iclay) * ?final
(0.098) * (2.0 rev/s) = (0.098+ 0.00864) * ?final
?final= 1.84 rev /sec

Part A What is the frequency of the wheel after the clay sticks to it? Ignore friction.
A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 1.7 rev/s. The wheel can be considered a uniform disk of mass 5.8 kg and diameter 0.40 m. The potter then throws a 3.1 kg chunk of clay that is shaped like a flat disk of radius 8.0 cm, onto the center of the rotating wheel. What is the frequency of the wheel after the clay sticks to it?
A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 2.0 rev/s . The wheel can be considered a uniform disk of mass 4.7 kg and diameter 0.30 m . The potter then throws a 2.8-kg chunk of clay, approximately shaped as a flat disk of radius 7.0 cm , onto the center of the rotating wheel.A) What is the frequency of the wheel after the clay sticks to it? Ignore friction.
A potter is shaping a bowl on a potter's wheel rotating at constant angular velocity of 1.3 rev/s (Figure 1). The friction force between her hands and the clay is 1.6 N total. a. How large is her torque on the wheel, if the diameter of the bowl is 9.0 cm? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. b. How long would it take for the potter's wheel to stop if the only torque acting...
A turntable has a radius of 0.80 m and a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg m2. The turntable is rotating with an angular velocity of 1.5 rad/s about a vertical axis though its center on frictionless bearings. A very small 0.40-kg ball is projected horizontally toward the turntable axis with a velocity of 3.0 m/s. The ball is caught by a very small and very light cup-shaped mechanism on the rim of the turntable (see figure). a) What is the...
