*17. ssm A stroboscope is a light that flashes on and off at a constant rate. It can be used to illuminate a rotating object, and if the flashing rate is adjusted properly, the object can be made to appear stationary. (a) What is the shortest time between flashes of light that will make a three-bladed propeller appear stationary when it is rotating with an angular speed of 16.7 rev/s? (b) What is the next shortest time?

A watch has a second hand which turns on the same center as the hour hand and the minute hand. At exactly three o'clock, the minute hand and the second hand point at twelve and the hour hand at three. How many seconds will lapse when the hour hand is between the minute hand and the second hand? A. 2.96 s B. 29.6 s C. 6.92 s D. 269.2 s
At 714 A.M. on June 30, 1908, a huge explosion occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61 N and longitude 102 E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness “covered an enormous part of the sky,” was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about 140 m wide. (a) Considering only Earth’s rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25 E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth’s surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude 20 W? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)

Son Goku whirled Gohan during their training. Gohan’s height is 1.76 m while Son Goku’s armlength is 2.00 m. During whirling, their hands are in contact with the arms of each other and Son Gokurotates Gohan at 650 rpm. What is the radialacceleration of the toe tip expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g?
If an airplane propeller rotates at 2000 rev/min while the airplane flies at a speed of 480 km/h relative to the ground, what is the linear speed of a point on the tip of the propeller, at radius 1.5 m, as seen by (a) the pilot and (b) an observer on the ground? The plane’s velocity is parallel to the propeller’s axis of rotation.
4. The Earth turns on its axis approximately once every 24 hours. The radius of the Earth is 6.38 ×10^6 m. If the Earth suddenly stopped rotating (which is in reality not possible), with what speed would the Earth’s inhabitants who live at the equator go flying off the Earth’s surface? *Use g=9.8 a. 27 838 m/s b. 1 670 280 m/s c. 93.5 m/s d. 464 m/s e. 867 m/s

A uniform, 0.0350 kg rod of length 0.450 m rotates in a horizontal plane about a fixed axis through its center and perpendicular to the rod. Two small rings, each with mass 0.0150 kg, are mounted so that they can slide without friction along the rod. They are initially held by catches at positions 0.0500 m on each side of the center of the rod, and the system is rotating at 48.0 rev/min. With no other changes in the system, the catches are released, and the rings slide outward along the rod and fly off at the ends. A) What is the angular speed of the system at the instant when the rings reach the ends of the rod? Express your answer in revolutions per minute. B) What is the angular speed of the rod after the rings leave it? Express your answer in revolutions per minute.
