7.1 A 0.15-kg baseball is hit at a speed of 52 m/s in a horizontal line 1.4 m above the ground. When the baseball is 12 m from home plate, what is its angular momentum about home plate (i.e. with respect to home plate which we are calling the origin)? Give both magnitude and direction. (Let's agree on a co-ordinate system here where the ball's velocity is parallel to what we call the x-axis, and the z-direction is up. Make sure you know what this means for the y-direction.)

A disc of radius R = 0.41 m and of mass M = 1.22 kg is rotating with the initial angular momentum ωi = 0.51 rev/s on a frictionless horizontal plane. You drop a small clay piece of mass m = 0.19 kg vertically, it lands, and is stuck on a point of the rim of the disc at the distance R = 0.41 m from the center of the disc (Fig.9). The initial moment of inertia of the disk about the axis of rotation through its center is Ii = MR2/2. What is the angular velocity of the disc-clay system in rev/s after the collision? Keep three significant figures for the answer. Note the clay piece has negligible size so that it can be treated as a point.
A sphere of mass 1.0 kg and radius 0.21 m is suspended on the rod of length 0.49 m and mass 0.43 kg as it is shown in the figure. System can rotate around uppermost point. A bullet of mass 0.02 kg strikes the sphere as it shown in the figure (aiming directly to the center of the sphere) and embeds. Find minimum velocity of bullet which allows this system to just clear the top. The answer is 300.719752599215. Please show all steps on how to get to that answer.
