1) A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end just before it hits the floor, assuming that the end on the floor does not slip. (Hint: Consider the stick to be a thin rod and use the conservation of energy principle.)

Kathrine lets go of a cube of mass of m = 5 kilograms on her physics demo device she created. Her cube goes down a super smooth slide surface that has a height vertical distance of h=85 cm. At the end of the slide, her cube crashes into and sticks to the lower end of a vertical pole that has a mass M=10.5 kg and length 1-2.00m. Right after the crash, the pole pivots about a hinge point near its upper end through an angle (theta) before it stops for a moment. See the image given below to visualize Katherines system. You are tasked with Figuring out the following three things The speed of her cube just before it hits the pole The angular speed of the pole just after the crash The angle (theta) through which the pole pivots a. b.

3 z, 0 = -1.5z. 13-99. A car of a roller coaster travels along a track which for a short distance is defined by a conical spiral, r = where r and z are in meters and 0 in radians. If the angular motion 0 = 1 rad/s is always maintained, determine the r, 0, z components of reaction exerted on the car by the track at the instant z=6 m. The car and passengers have a total mass of 200 kg. Prob. 13-99
Two solid spheres of radius R and mass m are initially separated by a distance d such that the two centres of mass are separated by d+3R as shown below. The spheres are initially at rest, but the gravitational force accelerates them towards each other until they collide.a) Calculate the initial mechanical energy of the system.b) Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the system at the moment they collide.c) Derive an expression for v. State carefully what physical law you are applying.d) Show that, in the limit d >> R, the velocity v is independent of d.
A 2.40-kg cylindrical rod of length 2.00 m is suspended from a horizontal bar so it is free to swing about that end. A solid sphere of mass 0.25 kg is thrown horizontally with a speed v, = 13.5 m/s to hit the rod at the point A one-fifth of the way up from the bottom of the rod. The sphere bounces back horizontally with a speed v, = 9.50 m/s, while the rod swings to the right through an angle 0 before swinging back toward its original position. What is the angular speed of the rod immediately after the collision? rad/s (a) (b)
Two hangers are attached by a string to a vertically mounted pulley system as shown. One disk is bigger than the other, and the disks are attached to each other such that they rotate together. The axle has negligible friction. The mass of the large disk is 1200 grams and the radius is 11 cm. The mass of the small disk is 400 grams and the radius is 4 cm. The high hanger has a mass of 200 grams and starts 80 cm above the ground. The lower mass starts on the ground and has a mass of 100 grams. The hangers are released from rest. What is the velocity of the 200 gram hanger when it hits the floor?
The dung beetle is known as one of the strongest animals for its size, often forming balls of dung up to 10 times their own mass and rolling them to locations where they can be buried and stored as food. A typical dung ball formed by the species K. nigroaeneus has a radius of 1.85 cm and is rolled by the beetle at 6.20 cm/s.
