An electric motor can accelerate a Ferris wheel of moment of inertia I = 21000 kg·m2 from rest to 11.0 rev/min in 12.0 s. When the motor is turned off, friction causes the wheel to slow down from 11.0 to 9.0 rev/min in 10.0 s.

(b) Determine the power that would be needed to maintain this rotational speed.

The moment of inertia of an ice skater is 0.400 kg·m2 when he is spinning at 6.00 rev/s. (a) He reduces his angular velocity by extending his arms and increasing his moment of inertia. Find the value of his moment of inertia if his angular velocity decreases to 1.25 rev/s. (b) Suppose instead he keeps his arms in and allows friction on the ice to slow him to 3.00 rev/s What average torque was exerted if this takes 15.0 s?

(b) An electric unicycle is composed of a single wheel and an electric motor. The manufacturer specifications state that it must accelerate from 0 to 10 mph in 3.8 seconds, for a given torque T. The wheel would rotate with 1000 rpm if it is travelling at 10 mph. According to the motor’s manufacturer, the same electric motor with the same torque T would accelerate from rest to 1000 rpm in 0.95 seconds, assuming the damping and losses to be...

10.4-5-6) A) A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 2.10 m/s2. The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. From these data, determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and track. ________ (Hint: You are not given a value of the radius of the track. Think through the problem using the symbol R for this value and...

A child pushes her friend (m = 25 kg) located at a radius r = 1.5 m on a merry-go-round (rmgr = 2.0 m, Imgr = 1000 kg*m2) with a constant force F = 90 N applied tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round (i.e., the force is perpendicular to the radius). The merry-go-round resists spinning with a frictional force of f = 10 N acting at a radius of 1 m and a frictional torque τ = 15 N*m...
