A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The Crab nebula pulsar in the constellation Taurus has a period of 33.510-3s , radius 10.0 km, and mass 2.81030kg . The pulsar’s rotational period will increase over time due to the release of electromagnetic radiation, which doesn’t change its radius but reduces its rotational energy. (a) What is the angular momentum of the pulsar? (b) Suppose the angular velocity decreases at a rate of 1014rad/s2 . What is the torque on the pulsar?
While punting a football, a kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. The moment of inertia of the leg is 3.75kg-m2 and its rotational kinetic energy is 175 J.

(c) Explain how the football can be given a velocity greater than the tip of the shoe (necessary for a decent kick distance).
A boy stands at the center of a platform that is rotating without friction at 1.0 rev/s. The boy holds weights as far from his body as possible.

A light rod of length 2L is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a frictionless pivot through its center. A particle of mass m1 is attached at one end of the rod, and a mass m2 is at the opposite end, where m1 m2.
