Q4: A thin uniform rod of mass Mr and length L is suspended from the ceiling and mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle at the top. The rod is initially at rest in its equilibrium position when a ball of play dough, of mass mb, strikes the rod at its lower end and remains stuck to the rod. The sticky ball is thrown with an initial speed v0 at a 60 degree angle from the horizontal direction, and strikes the rod when it reaches the top of its trajectory, as shown in Fig.4. The acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g and air resistance is negligible.
a. Determine the velocity of the ball of play dough right before it sticks to the rod. Use the x- y coordinate system defined in Fig.4.
b. Determine the angular velocity of the rod+ball system right after the collision. Take counterclockwise as positive.
c. - Establish the differential equation satisfied by the rod+ball system after the collision and determine the angular frequency of the system. You may assume that the small…

Tarzan, who has a mass of 80 kg, holds onto the end of a vine that is at a 12° angle from the vertical. He steps off his branch and, just at the bottom of his swing, he grabs onto his chimp friend Cheetah, whose mass is 40 kg. What is the maximum angle the rope reaches as Tarzan swings to the other side?

A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.arrow_forward
- A 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall.
