- 5) A disk of mass m = 75.0 g and radius r = 4.20 cm glides across an air table at a speed v = 1.5 m/s. It makes a glancing collision with a hoop of radius R = 5.80 cm and mass M = 130 g (initially at rest) such that their rims just touch. Because their rims are coated with instant-acting glue, the two objects stick together and rotate after the collision. a) What is the angular momentum of the system relative to the center of mass? b) What is the angular speed about the center of mass?arrow_forwardaccording to the barometric measurements, the sound has a decibel level of 180 dB at a distance of 161 km.
