Two ladybugs sit on a rotating disk (the ladybugs are at rest with respect to the surface of the disk and do not slip).

Ladybug 1 is halfway between ladybug 2 and the axis of rotation.

What is the ratio of the magnitude of the radial acceleration of ladybug 2 to that of ladybug 1?

A disk has mass 5 kg and outer radius 30 cm
with a radial mass distribution (which may
not be uniform) so that its moment of inertia
is
8/9mR^2 . The disk is rotating at angular
speed 3 rad/s around its axis when it touches
the surface, as shown. The disk is carefully
lowered onto a horizontal surface and released
at time t0 with zero initial linear velocity
along the surface. Assume that when the disk
lands on the surface it does not bounce. The
coefficient of friction between the disk and the
surface is 0.06 .
The kinetic friction force between the sur-
face and the disk slows down the rotation of
the disk and at the same time gives it a hor-
izontal acceleration. Eventually, the disk’s
linear motion catches up with its rotation,
and the disk begins to roll (at time trolling)
without slipping on the surface.

How long after the kick does it take for the
ball to roll without slipping? The acceleration
of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
Answer in units of s.

A horizontal disk with a radius of 10 cm rotates about a vertical axis through its center. The disk starts from rest at t = 0 and has a constant angular acceleration of 2.1 rad/s^2. At what value of t will the radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration of a point on the rim be equal in magnitude?

A computer hard disk consists of a circular “platter” (or more thanone, mounted parallel on a single axis) with magnetic material onits surface that spins underneath a read/write head. For thisproblem, consider a typical hard disk which has platters 3.5 inchesin diameter and spins at 5400 rpm.
(a) What are the period (in seconds), and the frequency (in Hz) ofthe rotation?
(b) Suppose there is a speck of dust stuck on the outer edge of theplatter. How fast is it moving? And what is the acceleration it isexperiencing (magnitude and direction)?
(c) Now consider a second speck of dust that is stuck to thesurface of the platter only halfway to the edge (i.e. 0.875 inchfrom the axis of rotation). What are its speed and itsacceleration?
