Chapter 11, Problem 43AP
You are attending a county fair with your friend from your physics class. While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a new game of skill. A thin rod of mass M = 0.500 kg and length ℓ = 2.00 m hangs from a friction-free pivot at its upper end as shown in Figure P11.43. The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.0 kg at the rod in an attempt to make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the rod to rotate over the top position, you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest point on the rod, you calculate how fast he must throw the ball to win the stuffed animal with this technique.

The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.05 kg at the rod in an attempt to
make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the
rod to rotate over the top position (that is, rotate 180° opposite of its starting position), you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to
try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest

Your answer is partially correct. Try again.
In the figure, a small 0.109 kg block slides down a frictionless surface through height h = 1.46 m and then sticks to a uniform vertical rod of mass M = 0.218 kg and
length d = 1.55 m. The rod pivots about point O through angle e before momentarily stopping. Find 0.

You have a cylinder. You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°. The mass of the cylinder is 450 g and its diameter is 2.1 cm.After you release the cylinder, it rolls down the ramp without slipping, gaining speed. How much total energy (in J)does the block have at the bottom of the ramp?
