John McClane, desperately trying to escape the bad guys in an upper floor of a skyscraper, grabs a fire hose and crashes out a window. He falls toward the ground, dragging the hose with him. The hose is wound around a cylinder that has a moment of inertia equal to 5 kg m2, and the hose unspools from the cylinder as McClane falls. Assuming that the hose is pulled from the cylinder at an angle that is perpendicular to the cylinder's radius, what is McClane's acceleration? Let McClane's mass be 75 kg and the radius of the cylinder be 0.5 m. Neglect friction and air resistance. Hose Wall Spool McClane

A pulley has a negligible mass (that means, the radius is not relevant). It is supported with a pin at the center (and is free to rotate). A rope goes over the pulley. Block A, which has a mass of 5.723 kg is connected to one side of the rope. On the other side, Block B, with a mass of 12.602 kg is connected. The system is released from rest. What is the speed of block B, after B has traveled 0.716 m? Please enter a positive value in m/s (but without units) regardless of the direction of the motion of B
A child's top is held in place upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of r 3.21 mm. Two strings are wrapped around the axle, and the top is set spinning by T T applying T = 2.40 N of constant tension to each string. If it takes 0.590 s for the string to unwind, how much angular 2r momentum L does the top acquire? Assume that the strings do not slip as the tension is applied.

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 kid's merry-go-round in a park is a thin 150 kg disk (I = ½ MR2) 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?

A wheel of radius 0.269 m, which we can model as a thin disk, is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The mass of the wheel is 2.44 kg.

The third atom has a mass of 43.312 kg, with x coordinate at 44.89 m and y coordinate at 22.657 m. What is the moment of inertia in the unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?
