Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 1.09 x 10^6 kg and length 769 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 1.79 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center. If the motors are left running for 1 minutes and 14 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop?

A spherical satellite of approximately uniform density with radius 5.4 m and mass 300 kg is originally moving with velocity <2600, 0, 0>m/s, and is originally rotating with an angular speed 2 rad/s, in the direction shown in the diagram. A small piece of space junk of mass 5.1 kg is initially moving toward the satellite with velocity <−2200, 0, 0>m/s. The space junk hits the edge of the satellite as shown in the figure below, and moves off with a new velocity <−1300, 480, 0>m/s. Both before and after the collision, the rotation of the space junk is negligible. What is the rise in the internal energy of the satellite and space junk combined?
Now we have a rod-shaped space station of length 1017 m and mass 5.55 x 10^6 kg, which can change its length (kind of like an old-fashioned telescope), without changing its overall mass.

If the length of the rod is reduced to 1.04 m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station? 4.98 rpm 2.14 rpm 3.83 rpm 3.06 rpm
