Problem

(20
Points)
A
30.0
kg
child
stands
on
the
edge
of
a
solid
uniform
disk
of
mass
100.
kg
and
radius
2.00
m.
The
disk
rotates
horizontally
about
a
fixed
vertical
axis
located
at
the
opposite
edge
of
the
disk
from
the
child.
Initially,
the
disk
and
child
are
rotating
counterclockwise
and
make
1.00
revolution
every
8.00
seconds.
Then
the
child
catches
a
ball
of
mass
5.00
kg
thrown
by
a
friend.
As
shown
in
the
figure,
just
before
the
ball
is
caught,
it
has
a
horizontal
velocity
of
magnitude
12.0
m/s
at
an
angle
=37.0
to
a
line
tangent
to
the
disk.

Before
the
ball
is
caught,
what
is
the
moment
of
inertia
of
the
disk
and
child
about
the
axis?
Use
the

Calculate
the
period
of
the
motion
if
the
wire
is
in
the
n=3
standing
wave
mode.
(d)
(5
Points)
At
time
t=0
the
wire
is
not
moving.
The
top
graph
shows
the
displacement
of
the
wire
at
time
t=0.
If
T
is
the
period
of
the
motion
that
you
calculated
in
part
(c),
sketch

What
is
the
farthest
distance
Balley
will
get
from
the
Sun?
(c)
(5

Balley
is
observed
to
fly
by
the
Earth
at
a
distance
of
1.50
x
1011
m
from
the
Sun.
What
is
its
speed
there?
(You
can
ignore
the
gravitational
force
exerted
by
the
Earth.
Note
that
you
can
solve
this

How
much
work
needs
to
be
done
on
Balley
to
change
its
orbit
to
a
circular
orbit
at
the
distance
of
closest
approach
to
the
Sun?

Problem
6
(10
Points)
A
uniform
disk
of
mass
m
and
radius
r
rests
on
the
back
of
a
truck.
The
truck
and
the
disk
are
initially
at
rest,
but
then
the
truck
accelerates
to
the
right
with
acceleration
atruck
.
Assume
that
the
disk
does
not
fall
off
the
truck
and
that
the
static
coefficient
of
friction
is
large
enough
that
the
disk
rolls
without
slipping
over
the
truck.
What
is
the
acceleration
of
the
center
of
mass
of
the
disk,
as
observed
in
the
reference
frame
of
a
person
standing
on
the
ground?
Specify
both
the
direction
and
the
magnitude
of
the
acceleration
of
the
disk
in
terms
of
some
or
all
of
m,
r,
and
atruck
but
no
other
variables.
m,r
atruck
Note
that
afterwards
the
disk
is
rotating
counterclockwise
and
accelerating
to
the
left.
The
no-slip
condition
ensures
that
the
bottom
surface
of
the
disk
has
the
same
acceleration
as
the
truck.
