Concept explainers
A solid, uniform hall rolls without slipping up a hill as shown in Figure 9.39. At the top of the hill, it is moving horizontally; then it goes over the vertical cliff. (a) How far from the foot of the cliff does the ball land, and how fast is it moving just before it lands? (b) Notice that when the ball lands, it has a larger translational speed than it had at the bottom of the hill. Does this mean that the ball somehow gained energy by going up the hill? Explain!

- A space station is coast me ted in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 5.00 104 kg. Members of the crew walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 100 m. At rest when constructed, the ring is set rotating about its axis so that the people inside experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. (Sec Fig. P11.29.)
