Question: A disk is mounted with its axis vertically. It has radius R and mass M . It is initially at rest. A bullet of mass

A disk is mounted with its axis vertically. It has radius R and mass M. It is initially at rest. A bullet of mass m
and velocity v is fired horizontally and tangential to the disk. It lodges in the perimeter of the disk. What
angular velocity will the disk acquire? (2
(+2))
4. A small mass m slides from rest down a smooth slope, dropping a distance in elevation. It strikes the end of
a rod length d and mass M and sticks to it. The rod is initially at rest and fastened by a pivot P. How fast is
the small mass m moving just after the collision? (32
3+)
5. The evolution of a star depends on its size. If a star is sufficiently large, the gravity forces holding it together
may be large enough to collapse it into a very dense object composed mostly of neutrons. The density of
such a neutron star is about 1014 times that of the Earth. Suppose that a star initially had a radius of 7 x 108
km, and it rotated once every 26 days. What would be the period of rotation if the star collapsed to a radius
of 15 km?(1.19 x 10-14 days)
6. A hoop of radius RH and mass mH and a solid cylinder of radius RC and mass mC are released simultaneously
at the top of a plane ramp of length L inclined at angle above the horizontal plane. Which reaches the
bottom of the plane first, and what is the speed of each? (solid cylinder)
7. An athlete whirls a discuss in a circle of radius 80.0 cm. At a certain instant, the athlete is rotating at 10
rad/s and the angular speed is increasing at 50.0 rad/s2. For this instant, find the tangential and centripetal
components of the acceleration of the discuss and the magnitude of the acceleration. (89.4 m/s2)
8. You are designing an airplane propeller that is to turn at 2400 rpm. The forward airspeed of the plane is to
be 75.0 m/s, and the speed of the propeller tips through the air must not exceed 270 m/s (This is about
80% of the speed of sound in the air. If the propeller tips moved faster, they would produce a lot of noise)
a. What is the maximum possible propeller radius? (1.03m)
b. With this radius, what is the acceleration of the propeller tip? (6.5x104 m/s2)
9. We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a solid cylinder, of mass 50 kg and diameter 0.120 m, that
rotates in frictionless bearings about a stationary horizontal axis. We pull the free end of the cable with a
constant 9.0 N force for a distance of 2.0 m; it turns the cylinder as it unwinds without slipping. The
cylinder is initially at rest. Find its final angular speed and the final speed of the cable. (1.2 m/s)
