Accepted Answer

$$50\ \mathrm{$$rad/s^2$$}$$

Question 10

A child pushes a merry-go-round with a constant tangential force, causing it to rotate faster. Which of the following statements is true regarding the work done by the child?

Accepted Answer

The work done is equal to the change in rotational kinetic energy only.

Question 11

A gyroscope precesses because:

Accepted Answer

A torque acts perpendicular to its angular momentum, causing the direction of angular momentum to change.

Question 12

A uniform solid sphere and a uniform solid cylinder, both of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$, roll without slipping down an incline. Which reaches the bottom first and why?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 13

Which of the following is the correct expression for the total kinetic energy of a rigid body rolling without slipping?

Accepted Answer

$$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ + \frac{1}{2}I\$$omega^2$$

Question 14

Accepted Answer

Precession

Question 16

If the net torque acting on a system is zero, which of the following quantities must remain constant?

Accepted Answer
