Two identical wheels are moving on horizontal surfaces. The center of mass of each has the same linear speed. However, one wheel is rolling, while the other is sliding on a frictionless surface without rolling. Each wheel then encounters an incline plane. One continues to roll up the incline, while the other continues to slide up. Eventually they come to a momentary halt, because the gravitational force slows them down. Each wheel is a disk of mass 4.00 kg. On the horizontal surfaces the center of mass of each wheel moves with a linear speed of 5.47 m/s. (a), (b) What is the total kinetic energy of each wheel? (c), (d) Determine the maximum height reached by each wheel as it moves up the incline. (a) KE₁ = (b) KES = (c) h₁ = (d) h, = i i > #11
A bicycle wheel is mounted on the wall so that it can spin frictionlessly along a horizontal axle that passes through its center. A ladybug with mass m₁ = 1.4g lands on the rim of the wheel, a distance r₁ = 31 cm from the center of the wheel and at an angle 0₁ = 75° clockwise from the top of the wheel. At the same moment, a bumble bee lands on one of the spokes, a distance r2 = 15 cm from the center of the wheel and at an angle 02 = 12° counterclockwise from the top of the wheel. Suppose that you keep the wheel stationary by applying a horizontal force F = 0.013 N to the bottom of the rim of the wheel (i.e., the same distance from the center as the ladybug). What is the mass m2 of the bumble bee? The symbolic answer should be stated in terms of m1, 1, 01, T2, 02, F, and g, though not all of these quantities may be needed.
A solid, uniform disk of radius 0.250 m and mass 61.2 kg rolls down a ramp of length 5.10 m that makes an angle of 18.0° with the horizontal. The disk starts from rest from the top of the ramp.

The left-hand end of a uniform rod of length L and mass m is attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge. The rod is held at an angle θ above the horizontal by a horizontal wire that runs between the wall and the right-hand end of the rod. The wire breaks and the rod rotates about the hinge. What is the angular speed of the rod as the rod passes through a horizontal position? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m, g, L, θ.)

A solid cylinder is mounted above the ground with its axis of rotation oriented horizontally. A rope is wound around the cylinder and its free end is attached to a block of mass 55.0 kg that rests on a platform. The cylinder has a mass of 255 kg and a radius of 0.490 m. Assume that the cylinder can rotate about its axis without any friction and the rope is of negligible mass. The platform is suddenly removed from under the block. The block falls down toward the ground and as it does so, it causes the rope to unwind and the cylinder to rotate. (a) What is the angular acceleration, in rad/s², of the cylinder? rad/s2 (b) How many revolutions does the cylinder make in 5 s? rev (c) How much of the rope, in meters, unwinds in this time interval?
A small pine tree has a mass of 19 kg. Its center of mass is located at 0.87 m from the ground. Its trunk is sawed though at ground level, causing the tree to fall, with the severed trunk acting as the pivot point. At the instant the falling tree makes a 16° angle with the vertical, the angular acceleration of the tree is 2.6 rad/s. What is the moment of inertia of the tree?
Problem 2: A pulley consists of a large disk of radius R and a small disk of radius r that are welded together and mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle through their common centers.
