5 A Uniform Solid Ring Of Mass M 10 Kg And Radius R 2 M Is Initially Rotating In Mid Air With Angular Speed 20 Rad 1 (220.19 KiB) Viewed 52 times
5. A uniform solid ring of mass M = 10 kg and radius R = 2 m is initially rotating in mid-air with angular speed 20 rad/s [the Before state in figure (I) below]. It is then placed in contact with a surface (assume that the surface immediately feels the full weight of the ring). (1) M Before Wi (II) wf V Ө ə Ө After Ө wf H ?
(a) What kind of frictional force acts on the ring upon contact with the surface? (b) If the ring begins to roll smoothly to the right with speed v = 10 m/s after 5 seconds of contact (the After state), find the coefficient of friction corresponding to the frictional force you mentioned in (a). (c) What is the increase in the thermal energy of the ring/surface system from right before the ring contacts the surface, to when the ring starts to roll smoothly? The ring then rolls smoothly up a ramp of 0 = π/6 rad and H = 5 m [see figure (II)] (d) What is the horizontal distance, from the end of the ramp, at which the ring lands?
