Conservational of Energy Example 1: Disc Rolling Down an Incline • Find the speed of a disc of radius R which starts at rest and rolls down an incline of height H Rotational Dynamics Example 2: Strings with Massive Pulleys • Two blocks are connected by a light string over a pulley of mass mp and radius R. • Find the acceleration of mass m2 if m1 stis on a frictionless surface Example 3: Rolling Without Slipping • A disc of radius R rolls down an incline of angle θ without slipping. • Find the force of friction on the disc Example 4: Rolling with Slipping • A bowling ball of mass M and radius R skids horizontally down the alley with an initial velocity of v0. Find the distance the ball skids before rilling given a coefficient of kenetic friction μk Example 5: Amusement Park Swing • An amusement park ride of radius x allows children to sit in a spinning swing held by a cable of length L. • At maximum angular speed, the cable makes an angle of θ with the vertical as shown in the diagram below • Determine the maximum angular speed of the rider in terms of g, θ, x and L. 2002 Free Response Question 2 2006 Free Response Question 3 2010 Free Response Question 2 2013 Free Response Question 3
