5. A light, rigid rod is 77.0 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless, horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle?

An ice skater is preparing for a jump with turns and has his arms extended. His moment of inertia is 1.8kgm2 while his arms are extended, and he is spinning at 0.5 rev/s. If he launches himself into the air at 9.0 m/s at an angle of 45 with respect to the ice, how many revolutions can he execute while airborne if his moment of inertia in the air is 0.5kgm2 ?

The dung beetle is known as one of the strongest animals for its size, often forming balls of dung up to 10 times their own mass and rolling them to locations where they can be buried and stored as food. A typical dung ball formed by the species K. nigroaeneus has a radius of 2.00 cm and is rolled by the beetle at 6.25 cm/s. (a) What is the rolling balls angular speed? (b) How many full rotations are required if the beetle rolls the ball a distance of 1.00 m?
