- In the movie Kill Bill the character Gogo Yubari fights with a meteor hammer, which is a bladed metal sphere on the end of a chain. Let’s assume Gogo is spinning the meteor hammer in a vertical spin, as shown below, with a radius of motion as 1 m. She spins the weapon at 18 m/s. Gogo then lets out more chain, increasing the radius to 1.62 m. What is the new velocity of her weapon?arrow_forwardA person drives a car around a circular, level cloverleaf with a radius of 85 m at a uniform speed of 10 m/sec.

The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? m/sarrow_forward
