25. A war-wolf or trebuchet is a device used during the Mid- dle Ages to throw rocks at castles and now sometimes used to fling large vegetables and pianos as a sport. A sim- ple trebuchet is shown in Figure P10.25. Model it as a stiff rod of negligible mass, 3.00 m long, joining particles of mass 60.0 kg and 0.120 kg at its ends. It can turn on a fric- tionless, horizontal axle perpendicular to the rod and 14.0 cm from the large-mass particle. The rod is reteased from rest in a horizontal orientation. (a) Find the maxi- mum speed that the 0.120-kg object attains. (b) While the 9420-kg object is gaining speed, does it move with con- stant acceleration? Does it move with constant tangential acceleration? Does the trebuchet move with constant angular acceleration? Does it have constant momentum? Does the trebuchet-Earth system have constant mechani- cal energy?

1. A circular object of radius R starts from rest and rolls down an incline of M, I height H without slipping. The object has a mass M, a moment of inertia / and a radius R. We go through the steps in finding the speed of the object at the bottom of the incline below, a. What is the total mechanical energy of the object at the top of the incline? Write your answer in terms of I, M, R, H and/or g. b. What is the total mechanical energy at the bottom of the incline in terms of the speed v and the givens? Use the relation v = wR to eliminate the angular speed from your expression. Check that your expression has the correct dimensions. Your final expression should only contain v, I, M, R and/or g. When an object rolls without slipping, the point in contact with the ground is at rest. Therefore, the friction the mechanical energy C. force has displacer work, conserved. Use conservation of mechanical energy to find the speed v of the object at the bottom of the hill in terms of I, R, M,H…
You're feeling particularly lazy and decide to open a door by firing a bullet at it. The door has a mass of 10.7 kg and is 1.25 m wide, and the 10 g bullet, traveling at 420. m/s, hits the door at the edge opposite the hinges. The bullet stops inside the door, which then swings open. What is the angular velocity of the door just after the bullet hits it?
