Now let's apply our definition of angular momentum to a specific object. A mobile sculpture is suspended from the ceiling of an airport terminal building. It consists of two metal spheres, each with mass 2.0 kg, connected by a uniform metal rod with mass 3.0 kg and length s=4.0ms=4.0m. The assembly is suspended at its midpoint by a wire and rotates in a horizontal plane, making 3.0 revolutions per minute. Find the angular momentum and kinetic energy of the assembly. solution: k= 0.96J a) What would the kinetic energy of the sculpture be if the rod was three times as long but it still had the same angular momentum as in the example?
A 4.2 m diameter merry go round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.9 rad/s. If its total moment of inertia is 1760 kg*m², find the angular velocity of the merry go round when four people of 60 kg jump onto the edge of the merry go round. Treat the persons as point particles.
7. A 0.25 kg bullet is fired with a velocity of 200 m/s into two spheres mounted on a shaft with a vertical axis of rotation (coming out of the page) the spheres rotate horizontally. Each sphere has a mass of 0.80 kg and can be treated as a point mass. The mass of the shaft can be ignored. The bullet hits one of the spheres at the angle shown and sticks to the sphere which starts at rest. 30° Axis Of Rotation a. Determine the linear momentum of the bullet. b. Determine the angular momentum of the bullet/spheres system after the bullet hits the sphere. (Remember, momentum is conserved so you can calculate the momentum of the system at any time as long as you include all of the pieces.) 0.50 m
A solid disk rotates in the horizontal plane at an angular velocity of 4.20 × 10-2 rad/s with respect to an axisperpendicular to the disk at its center. The moment of inertia of the disk is 0.14 kg.m2. From above, sand is droppedstraight down onto this rotating disk, so that a thin uniform ring of sand is formed at a distance of 0.40 m from the axis.The sand in the ring has a mass of 0.50 kg. After all the sand is in place, what is the angular velocity of the disk?
A 1.7 m wide door (mass 4.0 kg) is hinged at one side so that it can rotate without friction about a vertical axis. It is unlatched. A police officer fires a bullet with a mass of 80 g and a speed of 450 m/s into the edge of the door, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door. Find the angular speed of the door just after the collision if the bullet embeds itself in the door. The moment of inertia of a door rotating about its edge is equal to MW2 where M is the mass of the door and W is its width. Before After W W W W
A woman with mass 50 kg is standing on the rim of a large horizontal disk that is rotating at 0.80 rev/s about an axis through its center. The disk has mass 110 kg and radius 4.1 m. Calculate the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the woman–disk system. (Assume that you can treat the woman as a point.)

A merry-go-round has a radius of 16.5 m and a moment of inertia of 310 kg-m². A boy of mass 44.9 kg runs tangent to the rim at a speed of 4 m/s and jumps on. If the merry-go-round is initially at rest, what is the angular velocity after the boy jumps on? Help on how to format answers: units w/
A uniform thin rod of length 0.70 m and mass 5.5 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. The rod is a rest when a 3.0-g bullet traveling in the horizontal plane of the rod is fired into one end of the rod. As viewed from above, the direction of the bullet velocity makes an angle of 60° with the rod (see the figure). If the bullet lodges in the rod and the angular velocity of the rod is 11.0 rad/s immediately after the collision, what is the magnitude of the bullet's velocity just before impact?
