- A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earths surface with an initial speed of 2.00 104 m/s. What will its speed be when it is very far from the Earth? Ignore atmospheric friction and the rotation of the Earth.

The direction of the toss is to the left, as viewed by the observer, so the bowing ball starts to rotate counterclockwise when in contact with the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the lane is 0.3. (a) What is the time required for the ball to come to the point where It is no slipping? What is the distance d to the point where the ball is rolling without slipping?arrow_forwardA circular disc of mass 5 kg and radius 1 m rotating with speed 60 rpm about a axis passing through a point on its circumference and lies in the plane of the disc. The kinetic energy of the disc will be nearlyarrow_forward

- (II) A uniform disk turns at 3.3 rev/s around a frictionless central axis. A nonrotating rod, of the same mass as the disk and length equal to the disk's diameter, is dropped onto the freely spinning disk, Fig. 8–56. They then turn together around the axis with their centers superposed. What is the angular frequency in rev/s of the combination?
