15 Figure 9-44 shows an arrangement with an air track, in which a cart is connected by a cord to a hanging block. The cart has mass 0.600 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (-0.500 my = m, 0 m); the block has mass m, = 0.400 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (0,-0.100 m). The mass of the cord and pulley are neg- ligible. The cart is released from rest, and both cart and block move until the cart hits the pulley. The friction between the cart and the air track and between the pulley and its axle is negligible. (a) In unit-vec- tor notation, what is the acceleration of the center of mass of the cart-block system? (b) What is the velocity of the com as a function of time t? (c) Sketch the path taken by the com. (d) If the path is curved, detemine whether it bulges upward to the right or downward to the left, and if it is straight, find the angle between it and the x axis.

A hammer is made of a solid sphere and a solid rod of negligible mass attached to the sphere. The radius of the sphere is R=25.0 cm and its mass is m=0.100 kg. The distance from the center of the sphere to the pivot is l=1.00 m. The hammer is released from it is initial position at the angle ϕ=30° with the vertical direction (see Figure below). Find the velocity of its center of mass at the lowest point. The moment of inertia of a solid sphere is 2mR2/5 about the axis through any diameter.
Four point masses are arranged in a square of side length L as shown. All of the masses are in the xy-plane. Mass 2 and Mass 4 have mass of 4.6 kg, and Mass 1 and Mass 3 have a mass of 1 kg. If the side length L is 2.5 m, find the KE of the system if the point masses are rotated as a system around the y-axis (through m1 and m2) at 2.6 rad/sec.

A uniform rod of length 0.8 m and mass 1.8 kg, has two point masses at each end. The point mass on the left end has a mass 1.4 kg, and the one on the right end has a mass 3 kg. Calculate the location of the center of mass of this system in terms of the distance from the left end.
An object with mass M slides across a frictionless half-circular slide of radius R. The object is initially held stationary at the top of the slide. The initial height is, hi = R. The mass is released and slides down, around the bottom, and back up the other side. The radius of the slide is R = 5.79 m and the mass of the object is M = 37 kg. When the object is moving up the slide, at an angle θ = 18o from the vertical, what is the normal force on the object?
A uniform rod of length 0.8 m and mass 2.2 kg, has two point masses at each end. The point mass on the left end has a mass 1.5 kg, and the one on the right end has a mass 2.5 kg. Calculate the location of the center of mass of this system in terms of the distance from the left end.
In the figure, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 29 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.28 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)

Modeled after the triatomic molecule problem that is 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 6.778 kg, with x coordinate at 2.814 m and y coordinate at 9.967 m. The second atom has a mass of 48.003 kg, with x coordinate at 47.145 m and y coordinate at 17.003 m. The third atom has a mass of 43.312 kg, with x coordinate at 44.89 m and y coordinate at 22.657 m. What is the moment of inertia in the unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
