Final Review for Phys 120

Question 1 Angular Momentum

  • The one question about throwing a ball at the pins
    • we are ignoring gravity
      • we are assuming that we are spinning the pin about the center of mass
        • like if the ball is force adding adding to it
    • 2 things are conservered
      • linear momentum
        • we know that
          • m_{b}\vec{v}_{bi}=m_{a}\vec{v}_{o}+m_{b}\vec{v}_{bf}$$(0.603kg)(12.8m/s)=(0.383kg)\vec{v}_{o}+(0.453kg)(5.0m/s)
      • angular momentum
        • we know that
              • d is the height of the ball hiting the center of mass
              • we are adding I and W because we start with a initial velocity and we will end with a spinning object and a moving object so it “split”

Question 2 parallel axis theorem

  • lecture 20 i cliccer question
    • sphere:
    • rod
    • we know what is not

Question 3 Precession

Question 4 that one question on SHM part 2 b

  • Question 1
    • A 2,671 g mass is hung on a “massless” vertical spring with a spring constant of k = 330 N/m. The mass is pulled down and released such that it undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10.0 cm. 
    • a) What is the spring potential energy of the system in Joules when the mass is located 6.7 cm below the equilibrium position (about which the mass oscillates)? 
  • solve
    • we know its in eq
  • Question 2
    • The mass in part a) is now removed and a new 376 g mass is hung from the same spring (k = 330 N/m). This new mass is pulled down 7.60 cm below the equilibrium position and released. It starts undergoing simple harmonic motion. 
    • b) Find the velocity of the mass in m/s at t = 7.3 s. If the mass is moving upwards the velocity should be positive and if it is moving downwards the velocity should be negative. 
  • solve
    • we know that d=A because how ever you pull it down it will go back that amount
