Center of Gravity
  • Why can a person not touch his/her toes while
    standing with his/her back and heels to the wall?
  • Answer 1

3
Center of Gravity
  • The CG has crossed the base of his/her body,
    causing him/her to topple.

4
Center of Gravity
  • A flat triangle has a height of 36.5cm. If the
    center of gravity for this object is 1/3 up from
    its base, at what point is the center of gravity?
    Why is it not halfway?
  • Answer 2

5
Center of Gravity
  • 36.5/3 12.16cm, because the bottom has more
    weight so the center of gravity is more towards
    the heavier end.

6
Center of Gravity
  • You want to make people topple. What would you
    have to do to a persons center of gravity if
    they are lying down? Standing upright? Which
    action takes more work?
  • Answer 3

7
Center of Gravity
  • For a person lying down you would have to raise
    its center of gravity by a large amount. If you
    want to topple a person standing up you would
    only have to raise its center of gravity by a
    little. It would take more work to raise the
    center of gravity of the person lying down.

8
Center of Gravity
  • Mr. Lowe is trying to balance a baseball bat on
    his finger. Where should he put his finger?
  • Answer 4

9
Center of Gravity
  • Under the CG.

10
Center of Gravity
  • Where is the center of gravity of the 100 kg
    meter stick if you put  a fulcrum at the 40 cm
    mark and balance it with a 100 kg at the 10 cm 
    mark?
  • Answer 5

11
Center of Gravity
  • right at the 70 cm mark

12
Centripetal force
  • A 20 kg car and a 100 kg car go around the same
    turn at the same  speed, how do the centripetal
    forces on the car differ? 
  • Answer 1

13
Centripetal force
  • The big car has 5 times as much centripetal force

14
Centripetal force
  • A string one meter long is used to whirl a 0.5 kg
    mass in a circle at a constant speed of 5 m/s.
    What is the centripetal force on the string?
  • Answer 2

15
Centripetal force
  • Fc12.5N

16
Centripetal force
  • A 1000kg roller coaster goes in circles at 25m/s.
    It is 25m from the center of the circle.
    Calculate the Centripetal Force.
  • Answer 3

17
Centripetal force
  • Fc25000N

18
Centripetal force
  • In a spin cycle, what is the role of centripetal
    force and what does it help the washing machine
    do? Answer 4

19
Centripetal force
  • The walls of the washing machine exert a
    centripetal force which enables the clothes to go
    into a circular path.

20
Centripetal force
  • If you place a tennis ball on a flat board, move
    it in a straight line, but then have a outside
    force act upon it and make it accelerate to the
    left, where would the tennis call move? continue
    in a straight path? or change direction with the
    board? why?
  • Answer 5

21
Centripetal force
  • there is no centripetal motion acting on the ball
    to make it go inward with the board. Only a force
    is acting on the board. The ball continues going
    in a straight path.

22
Torque
  • Why is the doorknob located across from the
    hinges of the door?
  • Answer 1

23
Torque
  • It has more torque, making the door-opening
    easier.

24
Torque
  • A meter stick is hung from the 50 cm mark, and a
    1 kg mass is hung at the 90 cm mark.
  • What mass must be hung at the 25 mark to balance
    the stick?
  • Answer 2

25
Torque
  • 1.6 kg

26
Torque
  • If the lever arm is doubled, how much force is
    needed to keep the torque the same as it was with
    the not doubled lever arm? Answer 3

27
Torque
  • Half

28
Torque
  • In a challenge two people push perpendicularly on
    a beam one at each end. If the length of the
    beam is 7.00 m and each person pushes with a 190
    N force, what is the magnitude of the net torque
    applied to the beam?
  • Answer 4

29
Torque
  • 1330 Nm

30
Torque
  • Mr. Lowe is trying to unscrew a tight nut with a
    wrench. The wrench is 30 cm long. He applies a
    force of 70N. How much torque does he produce?
  • Answer 5

31
Torque
  • 21 Nm

32
Moment of Inertia
  • If a tires diameter is halved, does the moment of
    inertia halved? 
  • Answer 1

33
Moment of Inertia
  • No, it goes down 4 times as much

34
Moment of Inertia
  • the front wheel of a bicycle is three times as
    large as the rear wheel. How much more massive
    must the rear wheel be to have the same moment of
    inertia as the front wheel?
  • Answer 2

35
Moment of Inertia
  • the mass needs to be 9x the weight of the front
    wheel

36
Moment of Inertia
  • Mr. Lowe hangs a bowling ball that has a mass of
    14kg on a rope that is 10m long. Calculate the
    moment of inertia.
  • Answer 3

37
Moment of Inertia
  • 1400kgm2

38
Moment of Inertia
  • Billy wanted to build a really fast cart, but he
    had to have a specific mass and radius of his
    wheels. In order to gain the greatest speed how
    should he build his wheels?
  • Answer 4

39
Moment of Inertia
  • He should distribute the mass throughout the
    wheel, making a solid wheel.

40
Moment of Inertia
  • A strong man swings a 16-lb bowling ball around
    his head. The string attached to the ball is 3.7
    m long. What is the moment of inertia caused?
  • Answer 5

41
Moment of Inertia
  • 99.5 kg m2

42
Angular Momentum
  • An 80 kg man is sitting at his swivel office
    chair and is spinning at a constant speed, he has
    a 2 kg coffee mug in his outstretched hand and he
    pulls it in to take a sip. How fast does he spin
    if his .5 m arm is pulled in to .1 m, and he was
    originally spinning at 1m/s?
  • Answer 1

43
Angular Momentum
  • 5m/s

44
Angular Momentum
  • A 22 cm diameter basketball that weighs 11
    Newtons rolls down a hill at 17rps. What is the
    basketballs angular momentum?
  • Answer 2

45
Angular Momentum
  • 1.5 kgm2

46
Angular Momentum
  • Is it possible for two objects with the same mass
    and same rotational speeds to have different
    values of angular momentum?
  • Answer 3

47
Angular Momentum
  • Yes, if their radii are different.

48
Angular Momentum
  • Mr. Lowe swings a 2kg tennis ball in a circle at
    10m/s. The ball is attached to a piece of string
    that is 5m. Calculate the angular momentum of the
    tennis ball.
  • Answer 4

49
Angular Momentum
  • 100m/s2

50
Angular Momentum
  • Why do we balance on a bicycle when it is moving?
    Answer 5

51
Angular Momentum
  • We balance, because the wheels have angular
    momentum and therefore a greater torque is
    required to change the direction of angular
    momentum.
