80. A group of engineering students needs to determine the moment of inertia of the helicopter model they are designing. They decide to resort to the apparatus they remember using in the Rotational Motion experiment in their PHYS 221 class. They mount the helicopter model on a horizontal rotating base (in such a way that it rotates about the axis they are interested in). The system is set in motion by applying a horizontal constant force F through a string wrapped around the rotating base, of known radius. By measuring the magnitude of F, the group has a measurement of, the torque applied on the helicopter+base system. The rotating base is screwed onto a rotary motion sensor that measures the angle as a function of time. The appropriate computer software uses this data to calculate numerical derivatives, thus providing values for the angular acceleration. The experiment is repeated for several different torques that result in different angular accelerations. The resulting data is shown in the graph. What is the moment of inertia of the helicopter+base system for this particular axis of rotations? A. 0.40 g m 2 B. 0.55 g m 2 C. 0.60 g m 2 D. 1.1 g m 2 E. 1.6 g m 2 15
81. A cart moves on a straight track. The position of the cart is tracked with a motion detector that measures how far the cart is from the detector with ultrasonic pulses that bounce off a reflective plate attached to the cart. Using numerical derivatives, the software computes the velocity of the cart as a function of time. When the track is perfectly horizontal, if the cart is given an initial push, it is observed to slow down at a uniform rate and come to a stop, so the system has a non-negligible amount of friction. In the experiment shown in the figure below, the track is tilted so the motion detected is on the highest end. The cart is given an initial impulse at the lowest part of the track, so it moves up along the track and toward the motion detector. Before reaching the detector, the cart comes to a stop and rolls back down. Motion detector Reflective plate To computer Cart Track Which of the graphs in the next page corresponds to the described experiment? 16
