A rod is pivoted at point P and initially rotating at an angular speed w. The moment of inertia of the rod about its axis of rotation is ½ M₁d². The rod strikes the ball which is initially at rest. After collision, the rod stopped and the ball moves to the right. c. Assuming the collision is elastic, calculate the ratio ₁ M- d. A new ball with the same mass M1 as the rod is now placed à distance x from the pivot. Assuming the collision is still elastic, for what value of x will the rod stop moving after hitting the ball?

A 230-kg, 2.70-m long beam slides across the ice with a speed of 18.0 m / s (see figure). A 65.0-kg man at rest grasps it by one end (without lifting) and holds onto it; both he and the beam begin to spin on the ice. Assume frictionless motion. (a) How fast is the center of mass of the system moving after the collision? (b) With what angular speed does the man-beam system rotate with respect to its Center of Mass?
The drawing shows a human figure approximately in a sitting position. For the purposes of this problem, there are three parts to the figure, and the center of mass of each one is shown in the drawing. These parts are: (1) the torso, neck, and head (total mass = 42.0 kg) with a center of mass located on the y axis at a point 0.355 m above the origin, (2) the upper legs (mass = 19.5 kg) with a center of mass located on the x axis at a point 0.178 m to the right of the origin, and (3) the lower legs and feet (total mass = 10.5 kg) with a center of mass located 0.487 to the right of and 0.206 m below the origin. Find the (a) x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the center of mass of the human figure. Note that the mass of the arms and hands (approximately 12% of the whole-body mass) has been ignored to simplify the drawing. (a) Number (b) Number Units Units
A solid sphere of mass, M = 5.0 kg, and radius, R = 0.100 m is placed on two blocks so that it’s centre of mass lies at the origin as shown on the right. A bullet of mass, m = 0.100 kg, and with an x coordinate of b = 0.04 m strikes the sphere from below with a vertical velocity, v = 65 m/s and embeds in the sphere coming to rest at the location (-b,0) in the diagram below. Since there is no momentum in the horizontal direction, after the bullet hits the sphere , it will rise up to some maximum height and then fall back to its initial position on the two blocks. While the sphere is in the air it will rotate. What is the magnitude of the angle (in degrees) through which the sphere will rotate before it makes contact with the two blocks again?

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.
Objects with a uniform mass distribution and a symmetric shape have a center of mass at the center of the object. For non-uniform objects, the center of mass needs to be determined experimentally. To measure the center of mass of such an object, a pivot is placed in the middle of a board and the top of the non-uniform object is placed to the right of the pivot. When a uniform 10.0 kg mass has its center placed 60.0 cm to the left of the pivot the system balances perfectly (as shown below). The mass of the non-uniform object is measured with an electronic scale in the lab and found to beM = 39.8 kg .
