Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a set of physics problems involving pulleys and rotational motion. The original poster presents three distinct questions, each requiring an understanding of concepts such as energy, acceleration, and the dynamics of rotating bodies on inclined planes.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to relate energy concepts to acceleration in the first question, expressing uncertainty about how to connect these ideas. In the second question, they explore the implications of a sphere's motion on an inclined plane, questioning the effects of acceleration and friction. The third question prompts them to analyze the behavior of a pulley system, where they express confusion about the movement of masses involved.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided hints and expressed their thoughts on the questions, but there is no clear consensus on the solutions. The original poster has indicated progress on one question but continues to seek assistance for the others.

Contextual Notes

The original poster notes that the problems are set in ideal conditions, with specific assumptions such as neglecting friction and the mass of pulleys. There is also mention of multiple-choice options in one of the questions, which adds to the complexity of the discussion.

Homework Statement


Hi all!
I'm attaching a picture with three diagrams,each for a question(they're numbered in green)
so question number 1:
i had to find all kinds of ratios between the accelerations and stuff, so this was good,
the last part of the question was "Find the acceleration using Energy" , I don't have an idea ow to relate energy to acceleration , It's pretty easy to find using Newton's laws, but not energy, so any hint here could help.
Info:no friction between any surface nor pulleys, neglect mass of pulleys,I defined mass 1 and mass 2 as numbered in sketch.
question number 2:
It's a multiply choice question :
A sphere that rotates around his axis of rotation was put on an inclined plane(long),Center of mass velocity in the moment it was put on the inclined plane was 0 , direction of rotation is as indicated in the sketch.
which of the following is true :
a)there is a period of time that the acceleration is greater than g*sin(beta).
b)there is a period of time that the acceleration is smaller than g*sin(beta).
c)there is a period of time that the acceleration is equal to g*sin(beta).
d)the angular velocity firs decreases then increases.

question number 3:
in the sketch, everything is ideal, the system is released from rest,the distance between M and 2M is:
a)not changing in system number 1, and increasing in system number 2.
b)decreases in system 1, increases in 2.
c)constant in both systems.
d)increases in both.

Homework Equations


Lots of!
F=ma.
W(conservative)=change in kinetic energy.
W(non conservative) = change in total energy.
rolling no slipping c.O.M velocity V=WR.
Acceleration of a sphere on an inclined plane when rolling no slipping =(2/3)gsin(beta) if i remember correctly.

The Attempt at a Solution


ok question number 1 left only the last part which is what i wrote, here I have almost no idea, I just found the velocity ratio, and i think I need to attach work of tension and change in PE and Ek some how ... can't find a way, so a hint will help :}
2)
wow this one is annoying , so what I have so far is , the velocity is 0 initially , so it's slipping, till it will have velocity of W*R , so there is acceleration downwards the plane, but i think there should be friction as well, so the answer should be b)period when acceleration is smaller than gsinB? or it's d? :S or else XDD
3)
Truly, that many pulleys make me sick, I would really like to know what steps are involved in this kind of questions, are You doing it in the intuitive way?
well anyway , I'll start from system number 2(left).
0.5M is definitely going up, so either M and 2M going down or only one of them.
in the first system , i think 3M goes down.2M and M going up.
well I'm lost in this question.
any hints/stories/jokes are welcome!
thanks!

bump,any one?
 
Ok I've got the answer for question 3(constant distance), anyone can help me with the others? :S
 
Really nobody knows? or It's just cause the thread is to long? XD
