1. The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 146 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the rider, is 78.5 cm above the ground and halfway between the wheels. Assume the mass of each wheel is small compared to the body of the motorcycle. The engine drives the rear wheel only. What horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle will make the front wheel rise off the ground?

A disk initially at rest is fixed to a vertical axis of rotation and a 40 kg child is standing on the disk initially at rest 0.5 meters away from the axis of rotation. The rotational inertia of the disk is 50 kgm2. The boy pushes and jumps off the disk and the disk begins to rotate at 0.5 rad/s. Calculate the linear velocity of the child as they push off the disk. (The rotational inertia of the boy is mr2)

) The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 155 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the rider, is 88.0 cm above the ground and halfway between the wheels. Assume the mass of each wheel is small compared with the body of the motorcycle. The engine drives the rear wheel only. What horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle will make the front wheel rise off the ground? (There are a number of views on how to do this online, if you have difficulty with this problem look them up. One view is to calculate the torque about the point of contact on the ground and also the around the center of mass and set them equal to each other.) (a = 8.631 m/s)
What is the angular momentum of a 3.4-kg uniform cylindrical grinding wheel of radius 24 cm when rotating at 1400 rpm ? How much torque(in magnitude) is required to stop it in 6.0 s ? Express your answer using two significant figures
1. An Olympic athlete competing in the hammer toss spins the 7.26 kg hammer in a circle having a radius of 2.15 m (this includes both the length of the massless cable attached to the hammer and the athlete's arms). If the angular speed of the hammer is 13.4 rad/s about the axis of rotation just before the athlete releases the hammer, what is the tension force in the cable attached to the hammer at this moment? Treat the hammer like it is a point mass at the end of a massless cable. 2. Your car has a mass of 1.30 x 103 kg. You get on Crondall Lane and are cruising along at 20.0 m/s and thinking about how you really should have walked across the bridge instead of contributing to global pollution. You look up to see that you are approaching the stoplight at Owings Mills Boulevard and it is red, so you slam on the brakes when you are 25.0 m away from the light. If your brakes provide a constant force of 8.90 x 103 N, do you stop before reaching the stoplight? If not, how fast are you…
In a common design for a gyroscope, the flywheel and flywheel axis are enclosed in a light, spherical frame with the flywheel at the center of the frame. The gyroscope is then balanced on top of a pivot so that the flywheel is directly above the pivot. Does the gyroscope precess if it is released while the flywheel is spinning? Explain.

18. A car traveling on a flat (unbanked) circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.70-m/s. The car makes it one fourth of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. Determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and the track. Hint: you need to find the total acceleration of the car. Answer: 0.572
