Two 1.5 kg spheres of radius 0.20 m are each rotating at 24 rad/s about axes that pass through their centers. One is a thin-walled spherical shell and one is solid. Suddenly, a net torque of 0.12 Nm acts on each sphere and slows the motion down. Which sphere (solid or shell) comes to a halt first?
Three children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is a disk of mass 96 kg, radius 1.1 m, and is spinning at 22 rpm. The children have masses of 20.4 kg, 26 kg, and 35 kg. M = 96 kgm1 = 20.4 kgm2 = 26 kgm3 = 35 kgr = 1.1 mf = 22 rpm A. What is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round plus the children in kg⋅m2? B. If the child who has a mass of 26 moves to the center of the merry-go-round, what is the new moment of inertia in kg⋅m2? C. If the child who has a mass of 26 kg moves to the center of the merry-go-round, what is the new magnitude of angular velocity in rpm?
A circular space station with a radius of 72 m has just been completed. In order to provide astronauts with the feeling of gravity, the space station will be set spinning about its central axis. To do this, solid fuel rockets have been attached around the perimeter of this station to start it spinning. These rockets fizzle out quickly, and produce a non-uniform angular acceleration of =a0e−bt Where a0 = 0.0424 rad/s2 and b = 0.153 s-1. The station is at rest (is not spinning) when the rockets are ignited at t = 0 s. What is the tangential speed of the outer edge of the station about the center of the station at t = 6.27 s? Through what angle has the station rotated in that time? Once the rockets are done burning, how long does it take the station to complete one revolution?
A merry-go-round of radius R = 2.6 m has a moment of inertia I = 223 kg × m2, and is rotating at 10 rpm. A child whose mass is 44 kg jumps onto the edge of the merry-go-round with a speed of 4.5 m/s in a direction tangential to the rim of the MGR, and in the direction in which it is spinning. The new angular speed (in rpm) of the merry-go-round is approximately
A horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.947 rad/s. You, with a mass of 65.7 kg, walk clockwise around the platform along its edge at the speed of 1.09 m/s with respect to the platform. Your 20.1 kg poodle also walks clockwise around the platform, but along a circle at half the platform's radius and at half your linear speed with respect to the platform. Your 17.9 kg mutt, on the other hand, sits still on the platform at a position that is 3/4 of the platform's radius from the center. Model the platform as a uniform disk with mass 91.1 kg and radius 1.95 m. Calculate the total angular momentum of the system. total angular momentum: kg · m?/s

The WindSeeker ride at Canada's Wonderland lifts riders up to 300 feet into the air while spinning them around in a 15.4 m radius circle. The WindSeeker starts its circular motion from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 0.0174 rad/s2. It maintains that angular acceleration for 46.8 s, after which the angular speed remains constant for the rest of the ride - another 131 s. During the entire time on the WindSeeker, what angle does the rider pass through?
While placing a compact disc into a CD player, you notice a small chip on its edge. You attempt to play the CD anyway by placing the CD into the player's deck with the chip at 0o = 12.6° as measured from the +x-axis. The CD begins to rotate with angular acceleration a = 2.31 rad/s². If the CD has been spinning for t = 3.51 s and the disc has a radius of r = 6.00 cm, what are the x-y coordinates of the chip after this time, assuming the center of the disc is located at (0.00,0.00).
