Angular Momentum Homework: Ratio of ω0 to V0 for Zeroed Values

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the ratio of angular velocity (ω0) to linear velocity (V0) for a ball thrown with friction involved. The derived relationship is V0 = (2/5)ω0r, where r is the radius of the ball. The equations of motion and torque are utilized, specifically I_C = (2/5)mr² and Torque = dL/dt, to establish the connection between angular and linear deceleration due to friction. The solution confirms that both velocities can reach zero simultaneously under the specified conditions.

Homework Statement


A finger presses a ball and throws it away with angular velocity ω0 and velocity V0 like in the picture. the coefficient of friction is μ. what is the ratio ω0 to V0 so that they both are zeroed at the same time

Homework Equations


[tex]I_C=\frac {2}{5}mr^2[/tex]
[tex]Torque=\dot{L}[/tex]
From kinematics:
[tex]V^2=V_0^2-2ax,\quad \omega^2=\omega_0^2-2\alpha\theta[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution


The friction decelerates the ball:
[tex]mg\mu r=\frac{2}{5}mr^2\cdot\alpha\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{5\mu g}{2r}[/tex]
from kinematics:
[tex]0=\omega_0^2-2\alpha\theta\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{\omega_o^2 r}{5g\mu}[/tex]
The distance travelled:
[tex]x=\theta r=\frac{\omega_o^2 r^2}{5g\mu}[/tex]
I insert this distance into the kinematics formula:
[tex]0=V_0^2-2g\mu\frac{\omega_o^2 r^2}{5g\mu}\Rightarrow V_0=\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}\omega_0 r[/tex]
And the answer should be:
[tex]V_0=\frac{2}{5}\omega_0 r[/tex]

The distance travelled:
##x=\theta r ##

Is this true if the ball slips?

Try starting with kinematic equations that involve time, since you know that ω and v come to zero at the same time.
