A thin uniform rod has a length of 0.410 m and is rotating in a circle on a frictionless table. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the length of the rod at one end and is stationary. The rod has an angular velocity of 0.4 rad/s and a moment of inertia about the axis of 3.50×10−3 kg⋅m2. A bug initially standing on the rod at the axis of rotation decides to crawl out to the other end of the rod. When the bug has reached the end of the rod and sits there, its tangential speed is 0.149 m/s. The bug can be treated as a point mass.   What is the mass of the rod? Express your answer with the appropriate units.   What is the mass of the bug? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 2.00 m has a moment of inertia I = 250 kg · m2 and is rotating at 10.0 rev/min about a frictionless, vertical axle. Facing the axle, a 25.0-kg child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down on the edge. What is the new angular speed of the merry-go-round?

In the figure, a wheel of radius 0.234 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is 0.586 kg-m2. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel's circumference is attached to a 4.00 kg box. The system is released from rest.When the box has a kinetic energy of 4.00 J, what are (a) the wheel's rotational kinetic energy and (b) the distance the box has fallen? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2. M (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

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 2.58 m and a rotational inertia of 255 kg·m2 about the axis of rotation. A 53.8 kg student walks slowly from the rim of the platform toward the center. If the angular speed of the system is 2.18 rad/s when the student starts at the rim, what is the angular speed when she is 1.79 m from the center?

Your roommate is working on his bicycle and has the bike upside down. He spins the 56.0 cmcm -diameter wheel, and you notice that a pebble stuck in the tread goes by three times every second. What is the pebble's acceleration? Express your answer with the appropriate units.   The answer is NOT 110 49.7 49.8 or 0.63

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?

A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provide a means for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric cars. The gasoline burned in a 131-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 3.01 x 10 J of energy. How fast would a 38.5-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.597 m have to rotate to store this much energy? Give your answer in rev/min. Number i jud eTextbook and Media Units >

A 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? Number Units
