Textbook Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 2cT
Consider the following discussion between three students.
Student 1: “The string exerts a force that is tangent to the rim of spool A. This force has no component that points toward the center of the spool, so this force does not affect the acceleration of the center of mass."
Student 2: "I disagree. The acceleration of the center of mass of the spool is affected by the string. Any of the force not used up in rotational acceleration will be given to translation acceleration. This is why the acceleration of the center of mass of spool A is less than g."
Student 3: "The net force on spool A is the gravitational force minus the tension force. By Newton's second law, the acceleration of the center of mas is the net force divided by the mass. A force will have the same effect on the motion of the center of mass regardless of whether the force causes rotational motion or not."
With which student(s), if any, do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

The floor is rough; hence, it exerts both a normal force, f1, and a frictional force, f2, on the ladder. The wall, on the other hand, is frictionless; it exerts only a normal force, f3.

In order to collect their data, the students must determine the final speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp. The students discuss how they should determine this speed. Student 1: “We need to measure the length of the ramp and the time it takes the car to roll down it. Then we can divide the total distance by the total time to find the final speed.” What is wrong with Student 1’s method for determining the final speed? This method will only determine the average speed, not the final speed. This method will determine the acceleration, not the final speed. This method does not account for the height of the ramp. This method does not take into account the angle of the ramp.arrow_forward
