    Angular Velocity of a Block on a Heated Spinning Rod

    A 1.10 m-long massless rod is pivoted at one end and swings around in a circle on a frictionless table. A block with a hole through the center can slide in and out along the rod. Initially, a small piece of wax holds the block 10.0 cm from the pivot. The block is spun at 50.0 rpm, then the temperature of the rod is slowly increa

    Bohr Quantium Condition

    A particle of mass m is attracted to the origin by a force proportional to the distance from the origin F = -kr. Assume that it moves in circular orbit of radius r. a) Use Newton's law to show that its kinetic energy 1/2mv^2 equals its potential energy 1/2kr^2. b) Use Bohr quantum condition on the angular momentum (L = nh

    A particle of mass M is shot with an initial velocity Vi and makes an angle theta with the horizontal. The particle moves in the gravitational field of the earth. Find the angular momentum of the particle about the origin when the particle is (a) at the highest point of the trajectory and (b) just about to hit the ground.

    Conservation of angular momentum when a system changes configuration.

    A uniform cylinder, mass M= 12 kg, radius R= .36 m, is initially rotating about a vertical axis through its center at angular velocity wo= 6.6 rad/sec. Now two small (point masses), each of mass m= 2 kg, are dropped onto and stick to the cylinder, each at distance r= .24 m from the axis. SEE ATTACHMENT for diagram. Find wf, t

    A uniform sphere, mass M= 84 kg, radius R, has two uniform, thin, flexible bars each with mass m= 25 kg, and length half a circumference, wrapped on its surface as shown in Fig. 1. The system is rotating with a period To about a c.m. axis at center. At some instant, the bars fly outward to form a new configuration shown in Fig.
