Homework Statement I'm attaching a picture for the problem. Homework Equations F - N - K(that's my problem) = Ma K = m2a2 N = m1a (the acceleration is the same, since the rolling body pushes the m1 body forward) m1g - K = m1a1 (this is the acceleration in the y direction) a2 = a + a1...

Homework Statement Prove that a=⅔g sin θ will find the acceleration of a cylinder rolling down an incline of angle θ. Homework Equations a=⅔g sin θ The Attempt at a Solution I don't understand how to do this without numbers. I have a feeling the principle of conservation of mechanical...

Lets consider a block of mass m, sliding down an inclined surface (no friction) at an angle ∅ with ground. The force exerted by this block on the inclined surface is mgcos∅ which is perpendicular to it. Now consider a cylinder of same mass m and rolling (without slipping) down the same plane...

In solids there are crests and troughs. In highly polished surfaces there are molecular forces. But what creates friction during rolling where there is only line contact (in case of cylinder) or point contact (inn case of a ring)? I read somewhere that when an object is rolling it forms a...

Consider the experiment of rolling 5 fair dice. You “win” if all the dice show different numbers. I have to decide in advance how many times to repeat the experiment. I will be very happy if I win at least once. What is the least number of times I need to plan to repeat the experiment so that...

Good afternoon, I've tried to find a simplified model for the dynamic forces acting on a rolling wheel, but have had very limited success. I'm looking for a force that is proportional (or related to) the rotational velocity of the wheel (rotational damping) because of the contact point of the...

Sphere rolling up a ramp.. No mass given! Homework Statement A solid sphere of radius 20cm, has a velocity of 5.0m/s and is moving on a surface with just enough friction to allow it to spin. It rolls up an incline of 30 degrees. Calculate the distance rolled before it comes to rest on the...

I found this question in HRW (sixth edition), one of the 'checkpoints' (checkpoint 2, to be precise) in chapter 12 on 'rolling, torque, and angular momentum': Homework Statement Disks A and Bare identical and roll across a floor with equal speeds. The disk A roll up an incline, reaching a...

I have got a doubt regarding the situation when a ring rolls in a non-uniform magnetic field. We can see that the flux linkage is increasing (considering dB/dt to be positive). So EMF should be induced in the loop. But if we join any two points, say the instantaneous axis of rotation and the...

friction on on circular objects while rolling?? i had a doubt about circular rolling objects.. it is true that friction opposes relative motion..but while doing so in a rolling wheel rolling forward,the friction also works in forward direction.so then my question is why does the wheel stops...

hi I am just saw this phenomenon and see if there is any links to the topic that I am learning in school. So when i rolled a half full (depends on how optimistic you are :smile:) water bottle with a certain amount of force, the bottle went back and forth for a little while before stopping...

Results show me that if I increase the volume of water inside a bottle the time taken for it to roll down a ramp and then a particular distance along a horizontal plane increases. How would we explain this relationship.

Hate over probability! I just can't figure this out: what is the probability of rolling a pair (like, 6,6 or 3,3) when throwing n amount of dices? I mean, let's say I throw 3 dices total, shouldn't the amount of outcomes be something like this: 6*1*6 ? Or Maybe 6*1*6 should be multiplied by...

Why does the friction force oppose only the rotational motion of the bottom of a wheel? Also, when a wheel is moving down a ramp, why is the friction force UP the ramp when the rotational motion of the bottom wheel is also up the ramp? What is "sliding"? I'm having a real hard time...

In Resnick/Halliday, they describe how rolling can be described as the sum of a rotational force centered at the center of mass (for a wheel, say) and translational motion. The next part involves them saying that the motion can also be described as a completely rotational motion centered at the...

Okay, so I am somewhat new to physics (finishing up my first Mechanics/EM course), and I often get stuck on concepts until they make sense to me intuitively. Everything to do with translational motion made sense instantaneously, and I have powered through EM, but I have always struggled with...

This isn't really a numerical question, just a conceptual questoin. I wanted to know why if you have an object rolling down an inclined plane, you can just choose to put the pivot point anywhere. This is because I see problems where one thing is solved using F*R=I\alpha And I also see when...

the instantaneous axis of rotation of a body rolling on a stationary surface must pass through the instantaneous point of contact (C) it seems obvious that the axis must be tangential at C (to both surfaces), and perpendicular to the instantaneous line of motion of the point of contact but...

Over the course of the 355 meters of downhill road, she encounters a constant friction force of 292 Newton. If her speed at the top of the hill is 8 m/s, what is her speed at the...

Hi All, I have a question concerning a rolling ball on a metal track. Basically I am designing a rolling ball sculpture and want to lay a bunch of elevated track (2 wires) up and down and around turns. I know that as the ball is rolling it is losing speed from friction, so as the track...

Does friction does any work on an object purely rolling? Would mechanical energy be always conserved when when an object rolls? I feel that friction does no work as the point of contact never moves. So there will be no change in energy. Am I having conceptual error?

Hello, I need to apply rolling friction to a ball, but I don't understand where to plug it in. I know the rolling friction that I want to put in, but I can't just subtract the force of rolling friction on velocity, because the ball would never come to a stop, it would turn back again (and make...
