A Rod > Block Bullet Fig. 3 3._InFig. 3, 25.0 gblets fired into a 500 om block atached to the end of a 70 em rod of mass {600 gm. The biack-rod-bullt system then rotates in the plane ofthe figure, about a fixed axis at A Treat the black as a particle (a) (4 marks) Ifthe angular speed of the system about A just after impact is 6.2 rad/s, whats the bullet's speed just before impact? © chatepT The problem describes a situation where a bullet is fired into a block attached to the end of a rod, causing the system to rotate about a fixed axis after impact. We're given that: * Mass of the bullet, mp 59 * Mass of the block, mbiock = 500.9 * Length ofthe rod, Z = 70m * Angular speed of the system after impact, w = 6.2 rad/s, The total mass of the block-rod-bullet system after the bullet is embedded is 500 g + 5 g = 505 g. From the conservation of angular momentum, the angular momentum before the impact is equal to the angular momentum after the impact. ‘The angular momentum before the impact L; is just the linear momentum of the bullet times the distance from the pivot (since the block and the rod are initially at rest and thus contribute no angular momentum): L my-v-LL=my-v-L The angular momentum after the impact L is the moment of inertia of the system times the angular velocity Ly=lw Where I is the moment of inertia ofthe block-rod-bullet system about the pivot point A, which can be approximated by the moment of inertia of apoint mass at a distance L from the pivot, since the mass of the rod is distributed along its length but we are treating the block as a particle: T= mete - L? Now, we can equate L; and Ly tofind the bullet's velocity: my UL = Maystem TP +0 Solving for v, we get: mbes Let's calculate u, keeping in mind to convert masses to kg and length to meters for consistency in units: * my = 5.9=0005 ka * Moystem = 505 g = 0.505 kg + L=T0cem=07m 2 rads Now we can perform the calculation. The bullet's speed just before impact would be 438.34 meters per second. (-)a (b) (4marks) The D = 20 cm-diameter disk with mass M_ through its center.

Moment 4 can rotate on an axle 2 kg in Fi For part (b), we need to calculate the net torque about the axle for the disk described in Fig. 4. The forces acting on the disk and their directions will affect the calculation of the net torque. ‘The torque (7) caused by a force (Fis given by the formula: rx Fx sin(@) where: * rristhe lever arm, the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force, * Fisthe magnitude of the force, * isthe angle between the force vector and the lever arm. D. For a disk, the lever armis the radius ‘We need the forces and their angles of application from Fig. 4to calculate the net torque. The forces will create torques that may have different signs depending on whether they cause clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. Fora disk with forces applied as shown in Fig. 4 (which I cantt see but am inferring from common practice in physics problems), there would typically be forces acting tangentially to the disk's surface, causing rotation. These forces would be applied at a lever arm equal to the radius of the disk from the center. Given: * The diameter of the disk D = 20 cm,sothe radius R = 2 ou m, * The mass of the disk M = 12kg. We know the formula for torque is T = r x F, where ris the lever arm and F is the force. If we had two forces Fi and F» acting perpendicular to the radius at the rim of the disk, the net torque (Fze.) would be the sum of the individual torques considering their direction (sign): Trot = 7 x (Fi — Fe)For angular acceleration (a), we use themomentof nertia ofthe ais, which fora solid skis !APR?, andthe relation Fae = I I Lets assume that Fy and FP are the magnitudes ofthe forces acting at the rim ofthe disk at 90 degrees to the radius (maximizing the torque since sin(90°) = 1). We can calculate the net torque using the radius and the forces we had their values But since we don't have the exact values ofthe forces from Fig. 4, let's proceed hypothetically. If you can provide the magnitudes and directions ofthe forces, or fwe can assume them for illustrative purposes, ican perform the calculations. Please provide this information or confirm that we should proceed with assumed values, i (c)_ (2marks) Find the angular acceleration due to applied forces on the disk shown in Fig. 4.

We have the moment of inertia (I). ofthe disk given by 1M R?, Welluse the relationship between net torque (rand angular acceleration: % However, to calculate a, we need the net torque. The net torque isthe vector sum of te individual torques due to each force applied. Assuming we have forces F) and Fy acting a the edge ofthe disk (radius ) and perpendicular tothe radius (maximizing torque), the individual torques: woul be: n=RA n=RP ‘The net torque Ta is the sum of these individual torques.

With the assumed forces: * Acounterclockwise force (F,) of 30 N * Aclockwise force (F:) of 20 N The net torque (rat) acting onthe disk would be 10 Nem. Given this net torque, the angular acceleration (a) of the disk would be approximately 1667 rad/s ‘This isa hypothetical scenario based on assumed values forthe forces.
