Question
A stick is resting on a concrete step with 211211 of its total length LL hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at θ=36.1∘θ=36.1∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure.
If the mass of each bug is 3.263.26 times the mass of the stick and the stick is 10.3 cm10.3 cm long, what is the magnitude αα of the

- While placing a compact disc into a CD player, you notice a small chip on its edge. You attempt to play the CD anyway by placing the CD into the player's deck with the chip at ?0=15.2∘θ0=15.2∘ as measured from the +?+x‑axis. The CD begins to rotate with angular acceleration ?=2.31 rad/s2.α=2.31 rad/s2. If the CD has been spinning for ?=3.51 st=3.51 s and the disc has a radius of ?=6.00 cm,r=6.00 cm, what are the ?–?x–y coordinates of the chip after this time, assuming the center of the disc is located at (0.00,0.00)arrow_forwardThe Bunchberry flower has the fastest moving parts ever observed in a plant. Initially, the stamens are held by the petals in a bent position, storing elastic energy like a coiled spring. When the petals release, the tips of the stamen act like medieval catapults, flipping through a 60° angle in just 0.30 ms.to launch pollen from anther sacs at their ends. The human eye just sees a burst of pollen; only high speed photography reveals the details. We can model the stamen tip as a 1.0 mm long, 10µg rigid rod with a 10µg anther sac at the end. Although oversimplifying, we'll assume a Pollen Pollen Anther sac constant angular acceleration. A. How large is the "straightening torque"? (you may assume the torques created by the gravity 1.0 mm Stamen force are minimal compared to the straightening torque, and can be ignored. B. What is the speed of the anther sac as it releases its pollen? Initial configuration Final configurationarrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct.
