AP M 1998 MC 6 v 001 10.0 points A wheel of mass M and radius R rolls on a ω level surface without slipping.

Explanation: 0.27 m 3.4 s First, we note that the wheel is rotating about its center at an angular velocity of ω, 003 (part 2 of 3) 10.0 points so the velocity difference between the center Through what angle does the wheel turn in of the wheel and the lowest point (the point of the 3.4 s? the wheel that touches the surface) is ωR in magnitude in the horizontal direction. Since Correct answer: 44.0741 rad. the wheel rolls without slipping (which means Explanation: the velocity of the lowest point is 0) the ve- locity v of the center of the wheel is ωR. 1 2 1 2 2 Obviously, the center of the wheel is also the θ = αt = (7.62527 rad/s )(3.4 s) center of the mass, so the linear momentum is 2 2 p = MωR. = 44.0741 rad .

Its linear velocity increases constantly from 0 to 7 m/sin3.4 s. Correct answer: 7.01461 rev. What is its angular acceleration? Explanation: 2 1 rev =2 π rad, so Correct answer: 7.62527 rad/s .

Explanation: The bowling ball wins. A solid sphere of any Kr,p K mass and size beats both a solid cylinder and a hollow ball of any mass and size, because b b vcm a solid sphere has less rotational inertia per mass than the other shapes. A solid sphere b has the bulk of its mass nearer the rotational axis that extends through its center of mass, whereas a cylinder or hollow ball has more of What is the ratio of Kr,p to K, in general? its mass farther from the axis.

Explanation: Version001–RollingPartI–smith–(3102F16B1) 4 Using equations (1) and (2), into the paper, and in case Q, there is no torque, so the spool in case P rolls to the Fnet = F − f = ma, right, while the spool in case Q does not roll, but instead slides along the table. and for clockwise torque about the center of mass Ramp Race a τnet = f c − Fb = Iα = I , 011 10.0 points c Consider four round bodies of the same mass a where we use the relation α = for rolling 9.7 kg and the same radius 0.34 m but of dif- c ferent geometries – a solid sphere, a spherical without slipping.
