The moment of inertia of a uniform-density disk rotating about an axle through its center can be shown to be MR². This result is obtained by using integral calculus to add up the contributions of all the atoms in the disk. The factor of 1/2 reflects the fact that some of the atoms are near the center and some are far from the center; the factor of 1/2 is an average of the square distances. A uniform- density disk whose mass is 18 kg and radius is O.12 m makes one complete rotation every 0.4 s.

A ball with a mass of 5 kilograms collides with a rod in a vertical position with a frictionless hinge at its base. The rod has a mass of 50 kilograms and is 1.36 meters long. The ball has a velocity of 30 meters per second initially (the left) and bounces off with a speed of 15.3 meters per second (the right). Assume energy is not conserved. Part A: What is theangula rvelocity of the rod immediately after the collision? Part B: Whatis the angular velocity of the rod at the bottom, after it has rotated 180 degrees?
Note: Make sure your calculator is in radian mode for this problem, and that you switch it back after this problem. There are two particles (1 and 2) that are moving around in space. The force that particle 2 exerts on 1 is given by: F→21(t)=Fxe−(t/T)ı^+Fysin⁡(2πt/T)ȷ^ Where the parameters have the values: Fx=14.2 N, Fy=89 N, T=55 s.We will consider a time interval that begins at ti=0 s and ends at tf=96 s. Find the x component of the impulse from 2 on 1 between ti and tf.
the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
A bowling ball (which we can regard as a uniform sphere) has a mass of 4.54 kg and a diameter of 0.216 m. A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. If you connect these two balls with a lightweight rod, what must be the distance between the center of the bowling ball and the center of the baseball so that the system of the two balls and the rod will balance at the point where the rod touches the surface of the bowling ball?

Give an example of two polyatomic molecules that have different rotational contributions to internal energy. State the conditions in which the vibrational contribution to internal energy is proportional to the temperature.
let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still y-axis. The first atom has a mass of 8.61 kg, with x coordinate at 3.063 m and y coordinate at 3.826 m. The second atom has a mass of 63.048 kg, with x coordinate at 87.738 m and y coordinate at 51.326 m. The third atom has a mass of 26.317 kg, with x coordinate at 42.334 m and y coordinate at 23.115 m. What is the moment of inertia in the unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
Please see Part 4a.
Let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule now have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still y axis. The first atom has a mass of 9.199 kg, with x coordinate at 3.655 m and y coordinate at 8.442 m. The second atom has a mass of 41.619 kg, with x coordinate at 76.902 m and y coordinate at 57.706 m. The third atom has a mass of 39.818 kg, with x coordinate at 39.495 m and y coordinate at 25.9 m. What is the moment of inertia in unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
A diatomic molecule consists of two atoms having masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r. Show that the moment of inertia about an axis through the center of mass of the molecule is given by Equation 42.3, I = μr2.
