Question: 1 . You know your mass ( M ) and the mass of each of three apples you are carrying ( mo ) . You

1. You know your mass (M) and the mass of each of three apples you are carrying (mo). You also know your throwing speed (vo). You are standing on a frictionless surface. Compare the following cases. A) You throw all three apples at the same time to your left with your throwing speed vo, causing you to recoil to the right with a speed vf. B) You throw each apple one by one, again to the left with your throwing speed of vo. Which is larger? Your final speed, vf, in case A or case B?
2. You know the moment of inertia Io and the radius R of a wheel. You connect this wheel to a frictionless bearing and then wrap a thin and low-mass thread around the edge of the wheel. You tie a small object whose mass you measure to be mo to the dangling end of the thread. At time=0 you release the small mass from rest. When t=t_f, how far has the small object fallen, H?
