5. Big Ben, the nickname for the clock in Elizabeth Tower (named after the Queen in 2012) in London, has an hour hand 2.70 m long with a mass of 60.0 kg and a minute hand 4.50 m long with a mass of 100 kg. Calculate the total rotational kinetic energy of the two hands about the axis of rotation. (You may model the hands as long, thin rods rotated about one end. Assume the hour and minute hands are rotating at a constant rate of one revolution per 12 hours and 60 minutes, respectively.)

2. Consider an arbitrarily shaped object undergoing a rotational motion in the xy plane (see figure below). Let O be a point in the xy plane along the axis of rotation, and P, N, and M are fixed points on the object located at distances r, 0.5 r, and 0.25 r, respectively. Due to the rotational motion of the object, points P, N, and M will move along their circular path. If the linear velocity of point P is vp = 4.5 m/s and it is located at distance r = OP = 1.2 m from the axis of rotation, determine the magnitude of angular velocity of points P, N, and M, and the magnitude of the linear velocity of points N and M. er 45 P I
A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a rotational inertia about her rotation axis of 16.0 kg m2. She then tucks into a small ball, decreasing her rotational inertia to 3.60 kg m2. While tucked she makes two and a half revolutions in 1.20 seconds to complete her dive. If she hadn't tucked, how long would one rotation have taken her? (Give your answer in seconds.)

A figure skater brings her arms up to her body A figure skater spins at angular speed rotation of 2 revolutions per second with its two perpendicular arms to his body: in this position, his moment of inertia is 3 kg.m^2. When she brings her arms to her body, its moment of inertia is only 1.5 kg.m^2: calculate its rotational kinetic energy in this position. (We neglects the friction between the runners and the ice.)
Question 13 An ice skater starts to spin with an angular velocity of 2 rotations per second, when she moves her arms close together her angular inertia goes down by a factor of 5, how fast would she rotate then? O 2/5 rotations per second O 5 rotations per second O 5/2 rotations per second O 10 rotations per second Question 14 What is the tangential velocity of a ladybug that is 20 cm from the center of a turntable rotating at 5 radians per second? Hint: Watch the units O 4 m/s O 1 m/s O 100 m/s O 0.04 m/s Question 15 What is the magnitude of the centripetal force keeping the ladybug of the above problem in circular motion? Use 2x10-5 kg for her mass. Hint: Watch the units O 1x104 N O 1x107 N 2x10 3 N O 1x105 N
