2. An airplane propeller with a radius of 1.5 m rotates during landing with a frequency of 2000 min. The landing speed of the airplane relative to the Earth is 162 km/h. Determine the speed of a point on the tip of the propeller. What is the trajectory of motion of this point?

Answer

m/s; the point describes a helical line with a pitch m.

3. A disk of radius rolls without slipping with a constant speed . Find the geometric locus of points on the disk that currently have a speed .

Answer

The velocity at this moment is possessed by points lying on an arc of radius , whose center is at the point of contact between the disk and the plane (instantaneous center of rotation).

4. A cylindrical roller of radius is placed between two parallel rails. The rails move in the same direction with speeds and (see figure). Determine the angular velocity of rotation of the roller and the speed of its center, assuming no slipping. Solve the problem for the case where the speeds of the rails are directed in opposite directions. Description

Solution

Let the roller move translationally with velocity and rotate about its axis with angular velocity . The linear velocity of points on the roller in the coordinate system associated with its axis is . The points of contact between the roller and the racks also have this velocity. Since there is no slipping, this is also the velocity of the racks. In the coordinate system associated with the Earth, the velocities of the racks are equal to the sum of their velocities relative to the cylinder axis and the velocity of the cylinder axis relative to the Earth. Therefore, From this, For the case where the rack velocities are directed in opposite directions (, ), we get:

5. A hoop of radius rolls without slipping along a horizontal plane with a constant speed . What are the speeds and accelerations of various points on the hoop relative to the Earth? Express the speed as a function of the angle between the vertical and the line drawn between the point of contact of the hoop with the plane and the given point on the hoop.

Answer

. The accelerations of all points on the rim are centripetal and equal to .

Solution

The angular velocities of rotation of all points on the rim relative to the axis passing through the point of contact of the hoop with the plane (instantaneous center of rotation) are identical and equal to . The linear velocity of point is and is perpendicular to OA (see figure). Since the translational motion of the hoop is uniform, its points only have centripetal acceleration. This becomes obvious when considering the motion of the hoop in an inertial frame of reference moving with velocity . Description

7. A thin-walled cylinder, rotating with speed about its axis, is placed on a horizontal plane. What will be the speed of the cylinder's axis when the slipping of the cylinder relative to the plane stops?

Answer

.

Solution

1st method. When slipping, a constant friction force acts on the cylinder from the plane, which accelerates its translational motion and decelerates its rotational motion. After time , the translational velocity will be , and the linear velocity of rotational motion relative to the cylinder axis will be (since the cylinder is thin-walled, all elementary masses have the same acceleration relative to the cylinder axis, equal in magnitude to the acceleration of the translational motion).

The velocity of the point on the cylinder touching the plane is equal to the difference in velocities . Slipping will stop when this velocity becomes zero:

whence . Thus, the translational velocity (velocity of the cylinder axis) at this moment will be and will not change further.

2nd method. While slipping, the cylinder performs work against the friction force applied to it:
where is the path traveled by the point (more precisely, the line) of application of the friction force on the cylinder surface during its sliding on the plane over time : from the moment of contact, when the sliding velocity , until the moment slipping stops (). Since the motion is uniformly accelerated, the average sliding velocity is . Thus,

According to the work-energy theorem, the work equals the decrease in the kinetic energy of the cylinder:

(cylinder is thin-walled, therefore , see problem 50). The friction force , which brakes the cylinder's rotation to velocity over time , simultaneously imparts translational motion with the same velocity . Writing Newton's second law for the translational motion in impulse form and substituting with in equation (1), we obtain an equation from which we find .

8. Does the resultant of all forces applied to a body moving uniformly in a circle perform work?

Answer

No. This force, according to the problem statement, ensures the uniform rotation of the body, is a constant magnitude centripetal force, which at each moment in time is directed perpendicular to the displacement of the body and does no work.

9. A load of mass can slide without friction along a horizontal rod, which rotates around a vertical axis passing through one of its ends. The load is connected to this end of the rod by a spring with spring constant . At what angular velocity will the spring stretch by 50% of its original length?

Answer

.

Solution

The centripetal acceleration ( is the initial length of the spring; is its extension) is imparted to the mass by the tension force of the spring, which, according to Hooke's law, is Therefore, Hence

Answer

See the following figure. Description

Answer

1. .

  1. m/s.
Hint and Solution

The acceleration of the car is composed of the constant tangential acceleration , which provides the car's acceleration, and the centripetal acceleration ( is the car's speed). Therefore

The external force providing acceleration to the car is the friction force of the wheels on the road. Since the friction force cannot exceed ( is the mass of the car), the maximum acceleration at the moment the car transitions to the horizontal section of the road cannot be greater than :

Since

( is the path traveled by the car; ), then
