In a shipping company distribution center, an open cart of mass 50.0 kg is rolling to the left at a speed of 5.00 m/s Ignore friction between the cart and the floor. A 15.0 kg package slides down a chute that is inclined at 37° from the horizontal and leaves the end of the chute with a speed of 3.00 m/s. The package lands in the cart and they roll together. If the lower end of the chute is a vertical distance of 4.00 m above the bottom of the cart, what are (a) the speed of the package just before it lands in the cart and (b) the final speed of the cart?

A thin rod with a length of 4.0 m and a mass of 4.2 kg is initially at rest. It is capable of spinning around a frictionless axle that goes through the top of the rod. A 2.5 kg mass of clay collides perfectly idealistically with the bottom of the rod. The clay was traveling perfectly horizontally with a speed of 12 m/s before the collision. How fast will the rod with the clay attached to it rotate around the axle in radians per second? The only external force on the clay/rod system come from the axle, which exerts no torque about itself.
A can full of soda (total mass is about 375 g, where 355 g comes from the liquid and 20 g from the aluminum can, radius is about 33 mm) is released on a slope. The slope has an angle of 30° of inclination and a length of 40 cm. Due to friction, the can roll over the slope without slipping. Determine the time it takes for the can to reach the bottom of the slope.Repeat the calculation for the empty can (m = 20 g and R = 33 mm). Note: In both cases, ignore the contribution from the top and bottom metallicparts of the can (disks) to the moment of inertia.
A student places a coin on a flat disk. The flat disk is allowed to rotate around an axis through its center. The angular velocity of the flat disk gradually increases. The coin initially rotates with the disk but eventually slides off the disk. Which of the following is the best explanation for the coin's behavior? The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The kinetic friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary angular acceleration The static friction was no longer large enough to provide the necessary centripetal acceleration
A 4-Kilogram object slides, on a smooth surface, towards the north at a velocity of 5 meters per second. The object hits a fixed pole and is deflected from north to east by an angle of 60° and has a velocity of 5 meters per second. The change in the magnitude of the northward component of the moment of the object is
A cylinder with a radius of 0.5 m and mass of 2.0 kg rolls down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3.6 m. At the very bottom of the ramp, it collides with, and sticks to, a 5.0 kg mass (i.e., it is a perfectly inelastic collision). This combined object now slides along the flat floor, where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56. How far does the combined object travel along the floor before coming to a stop? (Moment of inertia of cylinder is l=(1/2) mr2.)

A sanding disk with a rotational inertia of 1.2 x 10-3kgm2 is attached to an electric drill whose motor delivers a torque of 16 Nm. If the torque is applied for 25 ms and the disk starts from rest, what is the magnitude of the angular velocity of the sanding disk? Use the rotational version of the Impulse Momentum Theorem. Take note of the time units.
