Problem 12: A merry-go-round is a playground ride that consists of a large disk mounted to that it can freely rotate in a horizontal plane. The merry-go-round shown is initially at rest, has a radius R = 13 meters, and a mass M = 241 kg. A small boy of mass m = 46 kg runs tangentially to the merry-go-round at a speed of v = 1.8 m/s, and jumps on. Randomized Variables R = 13 meters M = 241 kg m = 46 kg v = 1.8 m/s

Four point masses are arranged in a square of side length L as shown. All of the masses are in the xy-plane. Mass 2 and Mass 4 have mass of 4.6 kg, and Mass 1 and Mass 3 have a mass of 1 kg. If the side length L is 2.5 m, find the KE of the system if the point masses are rotated as a system around the y-axis (through m1 and m2) at 2.6 rad/sec.
A physical pendulum consists of a vertical board of of mass 5.8 kg, length 172 cm, and width 5 cm hanging from a horizontal, frictionless axle. A bullet of mass 145 g and a purely horizontal speed v impacts the pendulum at the bottom edge of the board. The board then makes a complete circle. (a) If the bullet embedded itself in the board, what is the minimum speed the bullet could have to make this so? (b) If the bullet passed through the board, reducing its speed by 1/5 its original value, what is the minimum speed of the bullet? (c) If the bullet is made of rubber and rebounds elastically, what is the minimum speed the bullet could have? (d) What is the rebound speed of the bullet?
A kid's merry-go-round in a park is a thin 150 kg disk (I = ½ MR2) with a radius of 3 m mounted to rotate freely about a central axis. On the edge of %3D the disk is an essentially massless bar. A 25 kg child jumps onto the bar (tangentially to the outer rim of the disk) at a speed of 12 m/s and a distance of 3 m from the rotation axis. If we think of the child as being essentially a point mass, what is the angular velocity of the system after the collision?
In the figure, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 36.1 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7240 km around Earth (mass ME = 5.98×1024 kg) but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course. (a) Find the total mechanical energy Е+ ЕÅ of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision. (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision. (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth's center or orbiting around Earth? (a) Number Units (b) Number (c) Units A B Earth
An asteroid has a mass of m = 2.6 x 106 kg and is approaching Earth. When the asteroid is exactly 3 radii away from the Earth's centre, it's speed relative to the Earth's centre is u = 8.7 x 103 ms-1. The asteroid then falls to the Earth's surface, but remains intact without dissipating any energy as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. If the rotation of the asteroid and the Earth is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the asteroid just before it hits the ground? The Earth has mass ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. To find the relevant potential energies, you must use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2

This time we have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 8.40 x 10^6 kg and length 1137 meters. Small probes of mass 8057 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 2897 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 400 m from the center of the rod. After 10 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? (1) 2.36 rpm 2 1.11 rpm 3) 1.97 rpm 4 1.58 rpm
A cylinder with a radius of 0.5 m and mass of 2.0 kg rolls down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3.6 m. At the very bottom of the ramp, it collides with, and sticks to, a 5.0 kg mass (i.e., it is a perfectly inelastic collision). This combined object now slides along the flat floor, where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56. How far does the combined object travel along the floor before coming to a stop? (Moment of inertia of cylinder is l=(1/2) mr2.)
A wheel consists of eight spokes and a rim. Each of the spokes has a mass of 0.40 kg and a length of 0.30 m, which is also the radius of the wheel. The rim is a thin ring with a mass of 1.0 kg. An arrow of mass (m) and velocity (v0) is shot into the wheel and gets stuck. The arrow hits the point where the angle (θ = 45). The wheel is at rest at the start and it rotates friction-free around the exhibition centre. Find the moment of inertia of the wheel. Find the spin of the system. What will be the angular velocity of the wheel when the arrow is stuck? How does the angular velocity change when the mass and velocity of the arrow change? Please answer clean and tidy in word format.

The third atom has a mass of 43.312 kg, with x coordinate at 44.89 m and y coordinate at 22.657 m. What is the moment of inertia in the unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
