A light cable is wrapped around a solid cylinder with mass M = 1.50 kg and radius R = 0.20 m as shown in the figure below. The cylinder rotates with negligible friction about a stationary horizontal axis. The free end of the cable is tied to a block of mass m = 0.50 kg. The block, initially at rest, is released at a height h = 1.00 m above the floor. As the block falls, the cable unwinds without...

We wrap a light, flexible cable around a solid cylinder with mass 0.68 kg and radius 0.17 m . The cylinder rotates with negligible friction about a stationary horizontal axis. We tie the free end of the cable to a block of mass 1.42 kg and release the object with no initial velocity at a distance 1.63 m above the floor. As the block falls, the cable unwinds without stretching or slipping, turning the cylinder. Suppose the falling mass is made of ideal rubber,...

1) A 67-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 3.7 m/s. The coefficient of friction between his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. (a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner? (b) How far does he slide? 2) A running 53-kg cheetah has a top speed of 31 m/s. (a) What...

A pendulum bob, with mass 1.60 kg, is held at rest initially in a horizontal position as shown. The string has negligible mass and a length of 1.20 m. The bob is then released from rest. It swings down and collides with a block of mass 2.40 kg initially at rest. Ignore air resistance. a) Use the Principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy to find the speed of the pendulum bob just before the collision. b) (The bob collides with...

A 8.5 kg block is suspended from a spring with k = 537 N/m. A 52 g bullet is fired into the block from directly below with a speed of 290 m/s and becomes embedded in the block. (a) Find the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion. (b) What percentage of the original kinetic energy of the bullet is transferred to mechanical energy of the harmonic oscillator?

The driver of a 1.19 103 kg car traveling on the interstate at 35.0 m/s (nearly 80.0 mph) slams on his brakes to avoid hitting a second vehicle in front of him, which had come to rest because of congestion ahead. After the brakes are applied, a constant kinetic friction force of magnitude 7.96 103 N acts on the car. Ignore air resistance. (a) At what minimum distance should the brakes be applied to avoid a collision with the other...

A thin rod of length 0.50 m and mass 110 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed 3.04 rad/s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod's kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises.
