A bowling ball (which we can regard as a uniform sphere) has a mass of 3.18 kg and a diameter of 0.216 m. A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. If you connect these two balls with a lightweight rod, what must be the distance between the center of the bowling ball and the center of the baseball so that the system of the two balls and the rod will balance at the point where the rod touches the surface of the bowling ball? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Two 3.50 kg balls are attached to the ends of a thin rod of length 36.0 cm and negligible mass. The rod is free to rotate in a vertical plane without friction about a horizontal axis through its center. With the rod initially horizontal (the figure), a 42.0 g wad of wet putty drops onto one of the balls, hitting it with a speed of 3.25 m/s and then sticking to it. (a) What is the angular speed of the system just after the putty wad hits? (b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the system after the collision to that of the putty wad just before?

250 m/s 140 m/s Pivot A uniform stick 1.0 m long with a total mass of 250g pivoted at its center. A 8.0-g bullet is shot through the stick midway between the pivot and one end. The bullet approaches 250 m/s and leaves at 145 m/s. With what angular speed is the stick spinning after the collision?
A rubber disc of 80 g mass and 4 cm radius slides along an air table at 1.5m/s, as shown in figure a. It collides indirectly with a second disc of 6 cm radius and 120 g mass (initially at rest) so that its edges barely touch. The discs are held together and rotate after the shock, Figure b. The angular moment of the system relative to the center of mass is:

The figure shows a small piece of clay colliding into a disk. The disk is initially at rest, but can rotate about a pivot fixed at its center. The collision is completely inelastic.1) The disk has mass M = 4.73 kilograms and radius R = 0.755 meters. The clay has mass m = 279 grams and is moving horizontally at vi = 3.66 m/s just before colliding with and sticking to the disk. The clay strikes the edge of the disk at a location of b = 0.505 meters offset from the center of the disk. Note that the size of the clay is negligible compared to the radius of the disk. 2) Calculate the angular velocity (rad/s) of the disk just after the collision.
