A kid's merry-go-round in a park is a thin 150 kg disk (I = ½ MR?) with a radius of 3 m mounted to rotate freely about a central axis. On the edge of %3D the disk is an essentially massless bar. A 25 kg child jumps onto the bar (tangentially to the outer rim of the disk) at a speed of 12 m/s and a distance of 3 m from the rotation axis. If we think of the child as being essentially a point mass, what is the angular velocity of the system after the collision?

You are about to do a back squat. You place a 20 kg plate on one end of the bar and mistakenly place a 40 kg plate on the other end of the bar. The bar is 2 m long and has a mass of 20 kg without the plates on it. The 20 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the left end of the bar and the 40 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the right end of the bar. How far (m) from the right end of the bar is the center of gravity located?
Question 11 On a faraway planet, Marvin ascends a launch tower that is 2300 m high. At this height, he fires a projectile (of mass 4 kg) from point A. His goal is to have the projectile travel around the planet in a nearly circular trajectory and return to point A. At what velocity must he fire the projectile? The radius of the planet Rlanet is 33736 km and its mass is 102.413 ? 1024 kg. Assume: i) you can neglect air resistance and the pull due to any of the planets moons and ii) the projectile?s flight is unobstructed (PUHQ1135) a) O11387.00 m/s b) O14233.00 m/s c) 07116.70 m/s d) 04744.50 m/s
We have a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 4.51 x 10^6 kg and length 1336 meters. Small probes of mass 9720 kg are periodically launched in pairs from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as shown, launching at a speed of 4220 m/s with respect to the launch points, which are each located 387 m from the center of the rod. After 20 pairs of probes have launched, how fast will the station be spinning? 2.17 rpm 9.04 rpm 3.62 rpm 13.56 rpm

A bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M as shown in the figure below. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length L and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.) 2M√5gL V = m 732 M v/2

A merry go around is 2.5 meters in diameter. It’s mass is 35 kg. Three kids jump on the merry go around and sit at the outer edge. Kid 1 is 6.0 kg, kid 2 is 11 kg, and kid 3 is 14 kg. Someone then spins the merry go round until it rotates one revolution every 4.0 s. After, kid 1 and kid 3 move 0.6 m towards the center of the merry go round, while kid 2 moves all the way to the center of the merry go around. Please determine the period of the merry go round after the kids move to their new positions.
Two blocks with masses m1 = 1.4kg and m2 = 4.6kg are at rest on a frictionless surface with a compressed spring between them. When the blocks are let go, block 1 is observed to have a velocity of 4.4m/s to the left. What is the speed of block 2?
