(Solved): The object shown in the figure below consists of a thin rod of length =22.9cm and mass m=1.20 ...
The object shown in the figure below consists of a thin rod of length ?=22.9cm and mass m=1.20kg with a solid ball of diameter d=10.0cm and mass M=2.00kg attached to its top. The object is free to pivot about a frictionless axle through the bottom of the rod. The object is initially vertical and at rest when it starts to rotate clockwise. (a) After the combination rotates through 90 degrees, what is its rotational kinetic energy (in J)? 3 (b) What is the angular speed (in rad/s) of the rod and ball? rad/s (c) What is the linear speed (in m/s ) of the center of mass of the ball? m/s (d) How does it compare with the speed had the ball fallen freely through the same distance of 27.9cm ? (Express your answer as a percentage of v fall vswing ? is vfall ? by %.
a) From the conservation of energy we can write the following expression: Here M is the mass of the solid ball, m is the mass of the thin rod, d is the diameter of the solid ball and l is the length of the thin rod
