Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth's rotation to once per 29 h exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. He uses an old Saturn V Rocket, stolen for NASA, which was originally used to send astronauts to the Moon. This rocket can exert a thrust of F = 3.85 * 10^7 N
a. If the original angular velocity of Earth is w initial and Zorch is trying to get the Earth to an angular velocity of w, how much time will it take him? Use M and R for the mass and radius of the Earth
b. How long in seconds, will it take him to do this?
The motion of spinning a hula hoop around one's hips can be modeled as a hoop rotating around an axis not through the center, but offset from the center by an amount h, where h is less than R, the radius of the hoop. Suppose Maria spins a hula hoop with a mass of 0.72 kg and a radius of 0.65 m around her waist. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the hoop, but approximately 0.43 m from the center of the hoop.
(a) What is the rotational inertia of the hoop in this case?(b) If the hula hoop is rotating with an angular speed of 13.1 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy?
The motion of spinning a hula hoop around one's hips can be modeled as a hoop rotating around an axis not through the center, but offset from the center by an amount h, where h is less than R, the
radius of the hoop. Suppose Maria spins a hula hoop with a mass of 0.74 kg and a radius of 0.67 m around her waist. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the hoop, but approximately
0.45 m from the center of the hoop.

Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit
accuracy to minimize roundoff error. kg. m²
(b) If the hula hoop is rotating with an angular speed of 13.3 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy?
