- A thin rod has a length of 0.900 m and rotates in a circle on a frictionless tabletop. The axis is perpendicular to the length of the rod at one of its ends. The rod has an angular velocity of 0.607 rad/s and a moment of inertia of 1.06 x 10-3 kg-m². A bug standing on the axis decides to crawl out to the other end of the rod. When the bug (whose mass is 5 x 10-3 kg) gets where it's going, what is the change in the angular velocity of the rod?

She throws a rock of mass 948 g horizontally in a direction that is tangent to the outer edge of the merry-go-round. The speed of the rock, relative to the ground, is 3.26 m/s. Afterward, what are (a) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and (b) the linear speed of the girl?

A playground carousel is free to rotate about its center on frictionless bearings, and air resistance is negligible. The carousel itself (without riders) has a moment of inertia of 125 kg-m². When one person is standing on the carousel at a distance of 1.50 m from the center, the carousel has an angular velocity of 0.600 rad/s. However, as this person moves inward to a point located 0.917 m from the center, the angular velocity increases to 0.800 rad/s. What is the porcon's marr?arrow_forward
- A small 0.400-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 3.30 m. The angular speed is 6.63 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 113N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move?arrow_forwardA small 0.340-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 1.10 m. The angular speed is 7.09 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 108 N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move?
