The centrifuge at NASA Ames Research Center has a radius of 8.8 m and can produce farces on its payload of 20 gs or 20 times the force of gravity on Earth. (a) What is the angular momentum of a 20-kg payload that experiences 10 gs in the centrifuge? (b) If the driver motor was turned off in (a) and the payload lost 10 kg, what would be its new spin rate, taking into account there are no frictional forces present?
Under what conditions does a rigid body have angular momentum but not linear momentum?
A uniform rod of mass 200 g and length 100 cm is free to rotate in a horizontal plane around a fixed vertical axis through its center, perpendicular to its length. Two small beads, each of mass 20 g, are mounted in grooves along the rod. Initially, the two beads are held by catches on opposite sides of the rod’s center, 10 cm from the axis of rotation. With the beads in this position, the rod is rotating with an angular velocity of 10.0 rad/s. When the catches are released, the beads slide outward along the rod. (a) What is the rod’s angular velocity when the beads reach the ends of the rod? (b) What is the rod’s angular velocity if the beads fly off the rod?
Check Your Understanding Suppose we included the sun in the system. Approximately where would the center of mass of the Earth-moon-sun system be located? (Feel free to actually calculate it.)
The center of gravity of a 3.00 {\rm kg} irregular object You need to move the center of gravity 2.00 {\rm cm} to the left by gluing on a 2.00 \rm kg mass, which will then be considered as part of the object. Where should the center of gravity of this additional mass be located? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Sanjay and Ting, each with a mass of 25 kgkg, are riding opposite each other on the edge of a 150 kgkg, 3.0-mm-diameter playground merry-go-round that's rotating at 21 rpmrpm. Each walks straight inward and stops 35 cmcm from the center. Part A What is the new angular velocity, in rpmrpm?
While sunbathing on the balcony of your 3rd floor apartment, you notice someone drop a m = 6.5 kg pumpkin from rest from the roof of the 5-story building across the street. Since you just completed a course on surveying, you know that the two identical buildings are d = 29 m apart, and have floors that are h = 4.8 m tall. The first floor is at ground level, as shown. a) Determine the magnitude of the angular momentum of the pumpkin, in kgm^2/s, by you as it passes the fourth floor balcony of the other building. b) Same question but with the 3rd floor, directly across from you. c) Same question but as it passes the second floor. d) Same question but immediately before it hits the ground. I was not given the radius of the pumpkin so I need to find the magnitude of the angular momentums without r.

Candace is a 53 kg diver. At the instant of takeoff, her angular momentum about her transverse axis is 20 kg.m7s. Her radius of gyration about the transverse axis is 0.4 m at this instant. During the dive, Candace tucks and reduces her radius of gyration about thetransverse axis to 0.18 m.a) At takeoff, what is Candace's moment of inertia about her transverse axis? kg*m?b) At takeoff, what is Candace's angular velocity in degrees/sec about the transverse axis?c) After Candace tucks, what is her moment of inertia about her transverse axis? kg*m? d) After Candace tucks, what is her angular velocity in degrees/sec about the transverse axis?
A diver (m = 60 kg) jumps from a diving board. At takeoff, his angular momentum about the transverse axis is 30 kg⋅m2/s. His radius of gyration about the transverse axis is 0.5 m at this instant. During the dive, he tucks and reduces his radius of gyrations about the transverse axis to 0.2 m. After he tucks the body, what is his angular velocity about the transverse axis?
Two space walkers, one with mass= 120 kg and the other one with mass = 85kg, hold on to the ends of a lightweight cable with length L=25m. The astronauts are originally at rest in deep space. If the astronauts then start pulling themselves towards each other along the cable until they neet, roughly how far will the less massive astronaut move? Express your answer as a fraction of L
A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of 400 kg ⋅ m2, is freely rotating with an angular velocity of 2.0 rad/s. Ryan, whose mass is 80 kg, runs on the ground around the outer edge of the merry-go-round in the opposite direction to its rotation. Still moving, he jumps directly onto the rim of the merry-go-round, bringing it (and himself) to a halt. How fast was Ryan running when he jumped on?A. 2.0 m/sB. 4.0 m/sC. 5.0 m/sD. 7.5 m/sE. 10 m/s
