Impact velocity after exiting circular motion

AI Thread Summary
To determine the velocity of an object after it exits a rotating disk, the tangential velocity can be calculated using v_t = rw, where r is the radius and w is the angular speed. After the mass is released, the force F_a, which is derived from oil pressure, may still have a partial effect, but primarily, the mass will hit the housing with its tangential speed, assuming no air resistance. The impact angle is influenced by the radii of the disk and housing, though it is not the main focus of the discussion. Centrifugal force does not contribute to radial acceleration in an inertial frame. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurate calculations of the impact velocity.

Hello,

i want to determine the velocity with which an object moves after it has departed a rotating disk. In my problem there is a disk rotating with the angular speed w. On this disk there is a drilling in which a mass m is positioned. In case the thread in the drilling fails i need to determine the velocity with which this mass hits the housing. During the rotation there is a force F_a additionally to the centrifugal force. My idea is to determine the tangential velocity with v_t=rw and with F=ma i can determine the acceleration due to the force F_a. Do i need to determine another accelerations or velocities. I am doing a rough calculation therefore the calculation doesn't need to consider all possible effects. I inserted a scetch of the problem. I would very welcome some help. thanks

@dogge76 Welcome to this forum, sorry for weird response above. I don't have time to look carefully at the problem now, but I'm sure someone will. (Maybe next time post it in the "homework" section using the template offered there.)

Does F_a still act after the mass is released? If not, then the mass will hit the housing with the tangential speed it had on release (ignoring air resistance etc.). What might be relevant for the damage to the housing is the impact angle, which depends on the radii of disc and housing.
 
@Krylov thanks for the welcome. I don't mind what the other guy said. I don't have time for such folly.

@A.T. No F_a doesn't really act after the mass is released but i think it does partially. This force comes from an oil pressure which means that some force will still act after release. The impact angle isn't very interesting at this point. But i don't really understand why it will only hit with the tangential speed, what about the force F_a ? In the very first moment it will surely accelerate the mass , wouldn't it ? And doesn't the centrigual force contribute to some radial acceleration ? i have added a scetch. a_a means the acceleration due to the Force F_a . a_r comes from the rotation.

You have to make up your mind here.

If you analyse it from the inertial frame, there is no centrifugal force.
 
No F_a won't act after the mass is released
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
