Answer the question in full details, thank you very much: A metal can containing condensed mushroom soup has a mass of m = 247 g, a height of h = 15.7 cm,and a diameter of D = 6.67 cm. Itis placed at rest on its side at the top of a L = 3.11 m-long incline thatis at an angle of Angle = 24.3 deg to the horizontal; the can is then released to roll down the incline, reachingthe bottom t = 1.53 s later. Assuming energy is conserved, calculate the moment of inertia of the can inkg-cm^2 (not kg-m^2).
Current Attempt in Progress The figure shows a thin rod, of length L = 1.50 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle.

(a) What is the speed of the ball at the lowest point? (b) Does the speed increase, decrease, or remain the same if the mass is increased? (a) Number i Units 00 L IN
PLEASE SOME ANSWER THIS ASAP AND SHOW ALL THE WORK PLS A merry-go-round in a playground (spinning horizontal disk) of mass M and radius R is initially rotating inthe x/y plane at a constantω0around a fixed vertical axis through the middle of the disk. A girl of mass m runstowards italong a path that is tangent to the rim and then jumps on the rim and holds on. The disk spinsfasterafter she jumps on. Treat the girl as a point mass.a) Choose one: Which of the following is conserved for the disk+girl system before and after she jumps on? (i) mechanical energy, ii) angular momentum, iii) linear momentum. iv) 2 or more of the above. b) Draw an overhead sketch of the disk with the disk rotating such that ω0 is in the +z direction (out). Show thevelocity vector of thegirl right before she jumps on. Solve for the necessary speed v that she must have in order for the disk to tripleits angular velocity after she jumps on. Your expression should depend on ω0, m, M, andR. Simplify it as much as…
