Document Summary

When something is warming/cooling, it has to do with the energy it gains/loses. Ex. standing by a re when it"s cold front is hot but back is cold. Reason we have weather transport of energy. The force exerted on an object is the mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration the force causes in the body. Acceleration a change in speed or a change in direction of an object"s movement. Forces acting on the atmosphere cause the wind to speed up or slow down or change direction. Energy the capacity to do work. Amount of energy required depends on the amount of work to be done. 4 forms of energy heat energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy and potential energy. Energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total energy is always conserved. Kinetic energy the work that a body can do by virtue of its motion.

The kinetic energy

of an object of mass

moving at a speed

is defined as $K=(1/2)mv^2$ . It seems reasonable to say that the speed of an object--and, therefore, its kinetic energy--can be changed by performing work on the object. In this problem, we will explore the mathematical relationship between the work done on an object and the change in the kinetic energy of that object.

Let us now consider the situation quantitatively. Let the mass of the sled be and the magnitude of the net force acting on the sled be. The sled starts from rest.

Consider an interval of time during which the sled covers a distance

and the speed of the sled increases from

Goal Apply conservation of angular momentum to a simplesystem.

Problem A student sits on a pivoted stool while holding a pair ofweights. (See Figure) The stool is free to rotate about a verticalaxis with negligible friction. The moment of inertia of student,weights, and stool is 2.25 kg Â· m2. The student is set in rotationwith arms outstretched, making one complete turn every 1.26 s, armsoutstretched.

Question If the student suddenly releases the weights, how does hisown angular momentum, rotational kinetic energy, and angular speedchange? (Select all that apply.)

His rotational angular speed decreases.
His rotational angular speed remains the same.
His angular momentum remains the same.
His rotational kinetic energy remains the same.
His angular momentum increases.
His angular momentum decreases.
His rotational angular speed increases.
His rotational kinetic energy increases.
His rotational kinetic energy decreases.

A star with an initial radius of 1.00 108 m and period of 30.0 dayscollapses suddenly to a radius of 1.00 104 m.

(a) Find the period of rotation after collapse.

(b) Find the work done by gravity during the collapse if the massof the star is 2.00 1030 kg.

The only force doing work on the system is gravitation, so the workdone by gravitation is the change in kinetic energy of the star.J

(c) What is the speed of an indestructible person standing on theequator of the collapsed star? (Neglect any relativistic or thermaleffects, and assume the star is spherical before and after itcollapses).

HINTS
* Do you expect the initial angular speed to be larger or smallerthan the final angular speed? How is angular speed related toperiod of rotation?

* Is the initial moment of inertia larger or smaller than the finalmoment of inertia?

* Is angular momentum conserved?

* As the star collapses, do you expect the period of rotation tobecome smaller or larger?
