PHYSICS FOR ENGINEERS

PRACTICE PROBLEMS.ROTATION AND CIRCULAR MOTION. Solve the following problems. Kindly show your solutions.

Problem 1: A car travels at a constant speed around a circular track whose radius is 2.6 𝑘𝑚. The car goes once around the track in 360 𝑠.
What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car?

Problem 2: The mass of the car and the rider is 350 𝑘𝑔. Find the magnitude of the centripetal force that acts on the car during the turn with a
radius of (a) 33 𝑚 and (b) 24 𝑚.
Problem 3: Car A uses tires for which the coefficient of static friction is 1.1 on a particular unbanked curve. The maximum speed at which the
car can negotiate this curve is 25 𝑚/𝑠. Car B uses tires for which the coefficient of static friction is 0.85 on the same curve. What is the
maximum speed at which car B can negotiate the curve?

Problem 4: For the normal force in the figure have the same magnitude at all points on the vertical track, the stunt driver must adjust the
speed to be different at different points. Suppose, for example, that the track has a radius of 3.0 𝑚 and that the driver goes past point 1 at the
bottom with a speed of 15 𝑚/𝑠. What speed must she have at point 3, so that the normal force at the top has the same magnitude as it did at
the bottom?
Problem 5: A device rotates at an angular velocity of 0.24 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠. Starting from rest, it reaches its operating speed with an average angular
acceleration of 0.030 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠2. How long does it take the device come up to operating speed?

Problem 6: A car is traveling with a speed of 20.0 m/s along a straight horizontal road. The wheels have a radius of 0.300 m. If the car speeds
up with a linear acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 for 8.00 s, find the angular displacement of each wheel during this period.
Problem 7: A wind turbine is initially spinning at a constant angular speed. As the wind’s strength gradually increases, the turbine
experiences a constant angular acceleration of 0.140 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠2. After making 2870 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠, its angular speed is 137 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠. (a) What is the
initial angular velocity of the turbine? (b) How much time elapses while the turbine is speeding up?

Problem 8: The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 𝑎𝑛𝑑 1/4 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠). Determine the average angular velocity
(𝑖𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠) of the earth as it (a) spins on its axis and (b) orbits the sun. In each case, take the positive direction for the angular displacement
to be the direction of the earth’s motion.
Problem 9: A car is traveling along a road, and its engine is turning over with an angular velocity of +220 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠. The driver steps on the
accelerator, and in a time of 10.0 𝑠 the angular velocity increases to +280 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠. (a) What would have been the angular displacement of the
engine if its angular velocity had remained con stant at the initial value of +220 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 during the entire 10.0 𝑠 interval? (b) What would
have been the angular displacement if the angular velocity had been equal to its final value of +280 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 during the entire 10.0 𝑠 interval?
(c) Determine the actual value of the angular displacement during the 10.0 𝑠 interval.

Problem 10: An auto race takes place on a circular track. A car completes one lap in a time of 18.9 𝑠, with an average tangential speed of
42.6 𝑚/𝑠. Find (a) the average angular speed and (b) the radius of the track.
Problem 11: A racing car travels with a constant tangential speed of 75.0 𝑚/𝑠 around a circular track of radius 625 𝑚. Find (a) the
magnitude of the car’s total acceleration and (b) the direction of its total acceleration relative to the radial direction.

Problem 12: A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a linear speed of 22.0 𝑚/𝑠 in a time of 9.00 𝑠. The radius of each tire
is 0.280 𝑚. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of each tire?
Problem 13: A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 6.6 𝑚/𝑠, decelerates to a speed of 2.1 𝑚/𝑠 in 5.0 𝑠. Each wheel has a radius of
0.65 𝑚 and is rotating in a counterclockwise (positive) direction. What are (a) the constant angular acceleration (in 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠2) and (b) the
angular displacement (in rad) of each wheel?
Problem 14: A bicycle is rolling down a circular portion of a path; this portion of the path has a radius of 9.00 𝑚. As the drawing illustrates,
the angular displacement of the bicycle is 0.960 𝑟𝑎𝑑. What is the angle (in radians) through which each bicycle wheel (𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑠 = 0.400 𝑚)
rotates?

Problem 15: An automobile, starting from rest, has a linear acceleration to the right whose magnitude is 0.800 𝑚/𝑠2 (see the figure). During
the next 20.0 𝑠, the tires roll and do not slip. The radius of each wheel is 0.330 𝑚. At the end of this time, what is the angle through which
each wheel has rotated?
