Find the total kinetic energy of a dumbbell of total mass m when it is rotating at an angular speed of w, and its center of mass is moving translationally with a speed of v. Denote the dumbell's moment of inertia about its center of mass as Icm. If you approximate the spheres as point mass of m/2 each located at a distance of r from the center, you can find an approximation for the center of mass (though it is not required for this problem). Figure 1. Dumbbell rotating and translating for problem 2.
A disk of radius R and mass M is on a horizontal plane with friction. While at rest you will applies a horizontal impulse P, as shown in the figure. Determine the height H above the ground, to which the impulse P must be applied, in such a way that the disc begins to roll without slide.
(a) The magnitude of the angular momentum about the origin of a particle of mass m moving with velocity v on a path that is a perpendicular distance d from the origin is given by m/v|d. Show that if r is the position of the particle then the vector J =r × mv represents the angular momentum. (b) Now consider a rigid collection of particles (or a solid body) rotating about an axis through the origin, the angular velocity of the collection being represented by w. (i) Show that the velocity of the ith particle is Vi = w X ri and that the total angular momentum J is J = Σm₁ [r}w - (r; · w)r;]. (ii) Show further that the component of J along the axis of rotation can be written as Iw, where I, the moment of inertia of the collection about the axis or rotation, is given by 1 = Σm₁p². Interpret pi geometrically. (iii) Prove that the total kinetic energy of the particles is 1².
