A can full of soda (total mass is about 375 g, where 355 g comes from the liquid and 20 g from the aluminum can, radius is about 33 mm) is released on a slope. The slope has an angle of 30° of inclination and a length of 40 cm. Due to friction, the can roll over the slope without slipping. Determine the time it takes for the can to reach the bottom of the slope.Repeat the calculation for the empty can (m = 20 g and R = 33 mm). Note: In both cases, ignore the contribution from the top and bottom metallicparts of the can (disks) to the moment of inertia.
Greg Huegel, a Clemson All-American placekicker and former PHYS 2070 student, was nicknamed “The Grocery Store Kicker” by Dabo Swinney after being discovered as a walk on. When kicking a football, the kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. As we proceed through this question, you will have to pull on information from past tests. If the velocity of the tip of the kicker’s shoe is 33.5 m/s and the hip joint is 1.25 m from the tip of the shoe, what is the shoe tip’s angular velocity in rad/s? The shoe is in contact with the initially nearly stationary 0.500 kg football for 20.0 ms. What average force is exerted on the football in Newtons to give it a velocity of 20.5 m/s? find the maximum range of the football in meters, neglecting air resistance.
If you toss a stick into the air, it appears to wobble all over the place. Specifically, about what place does it wobble?
Two balls with identical masses of (2 kg) and radii of (0.5 meters) start at rest at the top of a plane that is (15 meters) long and inclined to the horizontal by an angle of (25 degrees). Ball 1 will slide down the plane without friction. Ball 2 will roll down the plane without slipping. Which ball gets to the bottom of the plane first?
The two masses shown in Fig. are connected by a light inextensible cord that passes over a homogeneous 4-kg cylinder having a diameter of 1200 mm. How long will it take the 7-kg mass to move from rest to a speed of 2 m/s?. 5 kg 7 kg
A 6.0-kg snowball is rolling at 1.5 m/s when it is at the top of a long, straight mountainside that is 180 m long and slopes at 39° from the horizontal. The snowball then rolls without slipping down the slope, and gathers an additional 0.10 kg of snow per meter that it rolls. Assume that, throughout the entire motion of the snowball, the snow it collects distributes itself so that the snowball always remains as a solid sphere with a constant, uniform density of 250 kg/m³. (a) Find the radius of the snowball at the top of the slope, the mass and radius of the snowball at the bottom of the slope, and the moment of inertia of the snowball about an axis through its center when it is at the top of the slope and when it is at the bottom of the slope. (b) Find the total change in gravitational potential energy of the snowball and the snow it collects. (c) Find the speed of the snowball at the bottom of the slope.
If the earth warms significantly, the polar ice caps will melt. Water will move from the poles, near the earth’s rotation axis, and will spread out around the globe. In principle, this will change the length of the day. Why? Will the length of the day increase or decrease?
Spherical proteins of an unknown radius have a density of 5.80 x 103 kg/m3 and are suspended in blood which has a viscosity 3.5 times that of water. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge of radius 10.1 cm which spins at 9000 rpm. If the proteins have a terminal velocity of 3.70 x10-6 m/s, what is their radius? Express your answer to two decimal places in units of nanometers (1x10-9m), but do not include units in your answer.

A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to frictionless. The center of ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.
Why is the following situation impossible? A mischievous child goes to an amusement park with his family. On one ride, after a severe scolding from his mother, he slips out of his seat and climbs to the top of the rides structure, which is shaped like a cone with its axis vertical and its sloped sides making an angle of = 20.0 with the horizontal as shown in Figure P6.32. This part of the structure rotates about the vertical central axis when the ride operates. The child sits on the sloped surface at a point d = 5.32 m down the sloped side from the center of the cone and pouts. The coefficient of static friction between the boy and the cone is 0.700. The ride operator does not notice that the child has slipped away from his seat and so continues to operate the ride. As a result, the sitting, pouting boy rotates in a circular path at a speed of 3.75 m/s. Figure P6.32
