as shown. The rotational inertia about one end of the rod of this array is:
a. ML2/2
b. ML2
c. 3ML2/2
d. 5ML2/4
e. 3ML2

4. A man is marooned at rest on frictionless ice. In desperation, he hurls his shoe to the
right at 15 m/s. If the man weighs 720 N and the shoe weighs 4.0 N, the man moves to
the left at approximately:
a. 0
b. 8.3x10-2 m/s
c. 1.7x10-1 m/s
d. 15 m/s
e. 2.7x103 m/s
5. Two boys, with masses 40 kg and 60 kg, respectively, stand on a frictionless frozen
lake holding the ends of a massless 10 m long rod. The boys pull themselves together
along the rod. When they meet, how far will the 40 kg boy have moved? (Hint: making
a drawing may help)
a. 4 m
b. 5 m
c. 6 m
d. 10 m
e. need more information
In the figure below, the disk, hoop, and solid sphere are made to spin about a fixed axis
through their centers by means of a force as shown. Note that theres no translation!
Each object has the same mass and radius and starts from rest.
6. After the same force is applied for 10 seconds on each object, rank the objects
according to their angular momentum:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

according to their angular speed:
a)
b)
c)

e)
8. A rocket is fired straight upward on a windless day. At the peak of its trajectory, it
explodes into two parts, one with three times the mass as the other. Both pieces strike
the ground at the same time. You find the heavy piece 10m to the East of the launch
site. Where should you look for the other piece?
a) 3 m to the West of the launch site.
b) 10 m to the West of the launch site.
c) 20 m to the West of the launch site.
d) 30 m to the West of the launch site.
e) not enough information to tell.

angular acceleration of the pulley?
a. a =
2
b. a = (0.4)
c. a = 0.4
d. a = /(0.4)

e. a = /(0.4)
11. When the block is released and the cord unwinds, what is the magnitude of the
blocks acceleration, a (in m/s2), and the tension in the cord, T (in newtons)?
Take g=10 m/s2
a. a = 0.2, T = 0.6
b. a = 8.4, T = 26
c. a = 10, T = 160
d. a = 5, T = 13
e. a = 10, T = 260

of the rod in terms of g and L?
a.

kgm2 is rotating at 0.2 revolutions per second. A child of mass 50 kg runs at the merrygo-round in a line tangent to its edge, and grabs onto it. After the child is on board, it
rotates at 0.3 revolutions per second. How fast was the child running?
