Question 9

A system consists of two blocks of masses $$m_1$$ and $$m_2$$ connected by a string over a pulley of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R. $$The pulley is a hollow cylinder. If $$m_2$$ \u003e $$m_1$$, which of the following correctly expresses the speed $$v of $$the blocks after $$m_2$$ descends a distance $$h ($$neglecting friction)?

Question 10

Which of the following statements about the center of mass is correct?

Accepted Answer

The center of mass is the point where the total mass of the system can be considered to be concentrated for analyzing translational motion.

Question 11

A force is applied to a door at a distance $$r$$ from the hinges, making an angle $$	heta$$ with the door. Which component of the force is responsible for producing torque?

Accepted Answer

$$F \sin 	heta$$

Question 12

If the net torque acting on a rigid object is zero, which of the following must be true?

Accepted Answer

The object's angular velocity remains constant.

Question 13

A solid cylinder and a solid sphere, both with the same mass and radius, roll down an incline without slipping. Which reaches the bottom first and why?

Accepted Answer

The solid sphere, because it has a smaller moment of inertia relative to its mass.

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct expression for the rotational kinetic energy of a rigid body?

Accepted Answer

$$KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I \$$omega^2$$

Question 15

A force of 100 N is applied perpendicular to a wrench at a distance of 0.3 m from the pivot. What is the torque produced?

Accepted Answer

$$	au = 30 \, 	ext{N} \cdot 	ext{m}$$

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the lever arm in the context of torque?

Accepted Answer

The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force.

Question 17

A uniform rod of length $$L$$ and mass $$M$$ rotates about an axis through its center. What is its moment of inertia?

Accepted Answer

$$I = \frac{1}{12} M L^2$

Question 18

A disk is rotating with constant angular acceleration $$\alpha. If $$its initial angular velocity is $$\omega_i$$ and it rotates through an angle $$	heta$$, what is its final angular velocity $$\omega_f$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\omega_f^2$ = \omega_i^2$ + 2 \alpha 	heta$$

Question 19

Which of the following is NOT a correct analogy between linear and rotational motion?

Accepted Answer

Displacement $$x is to $$angular displacement $$	heta as $$mass $$m is to $$angular velocity $$\omega.$$
