4. A light rope is wrapped several times around a large wheel with a radius of 0.500 m. The wheel rotates on frictionless bearings about a stationary horizontal axis, as shown in the figure. The free end of the rope is tied to a suitcase with a mass of 15.0 kg. The suitcase is released from rest at a height "h" above the ground. The suitcase is accelerating with 2 m/s² and the wheel has an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s when it reaches the ground. 4.00 m a) Calculate the height h above the ground where the suitcase is released. b) Find the time it takes for the suitcase to reach to the ground. c) Calculate the moment of inertia of the wheel.

A person sits in a chair that is free to rotate without friction. Intheir hands, they hold two masses: Mass m1 = 5.0 kg a distance r1 = 0.35m from their body and mass m2 = 3.0 kg a distance r2 = 0.75 m from their body. a. At what distance r1 should the person hold mass m1 if they want to change their rotation speed from w1 = 8.0 rad/s to wf = 5.0 rad/s? b. What is the new moment of inertia about the vertical axis when m1 is held at this new distance?
A horizontal platform in the shape of a circular disk rotates on a frictionless bearing about a vertical axle through the center of the disk. The platform has a radius of 4.62 m and a rotational inertia of 101 kg-m2 about the axis of rotation. A 66.8 kg student walks slowly from the rim of the platform toward the center. If the angular speed of the system is 2.10 rad/s when the student starts at the rim, what is the angular speed when she is 0.592 m from the center? Number i Units

6. A uniform disk turns at 3.3 rev/s around a frictionless central axis. A nonrotating rod is dropped onto the disk. The rod has the same mass as the disk and length equal to the diameter of the disk. The two objects then turn together at the same rate with the centers lined up vertically. What is the new angular velocity (in rad/s) and new angular frequency (in rev/s)?
Flywheels are large, massive wheels used to store energy. They can be spun up slowly, then the wheel's energy can be released quickly to accomplish a task that demands high power. An industrial flywheel has a 1.5 m diameter and a mass of 250 kg. A motor spins up the flywheel with a constant torque of 50N⋅m50N⋅m. How long does it take the flywheel to reach top angular speed of 1200 rpm? Show a diagram
A small 700 g ball on the end of a thin, light rod is rotated in a horizontal circle of radius 2.5 m. Calculate the torque needed to keep the ball rotating at a constant angular speed if the air resistance experienced by the ball is 0.0200 N. Ignore the rods moment of inertia and air resistance. Hint: Treat the small ball as a particle.
Wile E. Coyote wants to flatten the Road Runner. Wile E. puts food at a pre-determined distance from the edge of a cliff. While the Road Runner eats the food, Wile E. pushes a log down the hill. It rolls without slipping. The radius of the log is 0.3 m. The mass of the log is 80 kg. The rotational inertia of the log is given by I = ½ MR2 . The translational speed of the log just before it leaves the cliff horizontally is 16 m/s. The Road Runner is 10 m below the cliff. If the log is to successfully hit the Road Runner, the food must be place at a precise location from the base of the cliff which you will determine. a. Use only energy considerations and the fact that the log does not slip as it rolls to determine the height it started from, h, before it went over the cliff. b. Determine how far from the edge of the cliff the food needs to be placed so the log lands on the Road Runner. The rotating motion of the log in the air does not affect the motion of the log once it is in the air.…

A student is whirling a ball on a string in a circle with an angular speed of 20 rad/s. Air drag decelerates the ball at a rate of -3 rad/s2. What is the angular speed of the ball after it has spun through an angle of 30 radians? Remember to include units with your answer. A disk is initially at rest. If the disk speeds up uniformly to a speed of 45 rad/s in a time of 15 seconds, what angle does it turn through? Remember to include units with your answer.
