    Electromagnetic Induction of a Disk

    Hello I'm having trouble finding the right way to apply Faraday's law to this question. I've found the flux through the disc: ##\phi = \vec A \cdot \vec B = B_{0} \sin{\omega t} \left( \frac D 2 \right)^2 \pi ## and the EMF: ##\varepsilon = - \frac {d \phi} {dt} = -B_{0} \omega \cos{\omega t}...

    Electric field due to a flat hollow disk

    I would like if my procedure is correct ... Due to the symmetry of the problem, I only worry about the vertical coordinate of the field, so I will work with the magnitude of the field, and I will treat the problem in polar coordinates. ##E= \int_{R_1} ^ {R_2} \int_{0} ^ {\pi} \frac {\sigma...

    Why do they only think of kinetic energy of motion? Why don't they think of both kinetic of motion and kinetic of rolling energy? So. i think ## L = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I \omega^2## ## L = \frac{1}{2}m(r \omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}mr^2) \omega^2## ## L = \frac{3}{4} mr^2...

    How can I find the velocity of a point on a disk rotating in a disc?

    From a freebody analysis I got, $$ \vec{r} \times \vec{F} = |r| |F| \sin( 90 - \theta) = (R-r) mg \cos \theta$$ and, this is equal to $$ I \alpha_1$$ where the alpha_1 is the angular acceleration of center of mass of small circle around big one, $$ I \alpha = (R-r) mg \cos \theta$$ Now...

    David Morin classical mechanics Problem 2.6: Disk held up by a massless string

    The first part is easy, we have 2T= Mg T= 0.5 Mg Now for the second part where I'm having trouble understanding Morin's solution: I take the normal force on a small circle arc to be N, we know that the y component of the normal force must be balance with Mg for the whole disk, therefore Ny =...

    Solid disk rolling down an inclined plane -- Some conceptual questions

    I was always a little confused about the rolling down of a body, let's say, a sphere. It's know that to body rotate, from the rest, in a referential frame on the ground [inertial], is necessary a friction, that will just act like a medium that transforms kinetic energy of translation into...

    The inelastic collision between a disk and a rotating platform

    A disk is dropped on a platform rotating at a constant angular speed ##\omega_i## as shown below. The question asks whether the final kinetic energy of the platform is conserved. I understand the angular momentum is always conserved provided that the net torque is 0, so I wrote the following...

    Releasing a hollow cylinder on a rotating disk

    There is no net external torque since the cylinder is slipping (no friction), so the angular momentum should be conserved. $$L_f=\frac 12MR^2\omega_i=\frac 12\times3.8\times0.52^2\times50\times\frac{2\pi\times0.52}{60}$$

    Rotational Inertia: Hoop vs Disk

    Kinetic energy of a disk that is rolling and not slipping

    Let ##\Theta## be the angle, following the movement of the center of the disk. In order to find the kinetic energy, we brake the movement of the disk into 2: The translation of the center of mass, and the rotation of the disk around it. So, the kinetic energy will be given by: $$T= \frac 1 2...
