You’ve been given the challenge of balancing a uniform, rigid meter-stick with mass M = 110 g on a pivot. Stacked on the 0-cm end of the meter stick are n identical coins, each with mass m = 2.9 g, so that the center of mass of the coins is directly over the end of the meter stick. The pivot point will be measured from the 0-cm end of the meter stick. What is the minimum number of coins you would have to stack at the 0-cm mark if the distance was less than 9.99 cm? Round to the nearest whole coin.

You’ve been given the challenge of balancing a uniform, rigid meter-stick with mass M = 110 g on a pivot. Stacked on the 0-cm end of the meter stick are n identical coins, each with mass m = 2.9 g, so that the center of mass of the coins is directly over the end of the meter stick. The pivot point will be measured from the 0-cm end of the meter stick. Determine the distance da in cm if there is na = 1 coin on the end of the meter stick, and the system is to remain in static equilibrium.
When a particle decays, it splits into two different particles and each is shot off in opposite direction. The speed of each particle is such that momentum is conserved. uranium 238 decays into thorium 234 by emitting an alpha particle (helium 4). If the alpha particle leaves with a speed of 6.8 x 10^3 m/s, what is the speed of the thorium atom? Give your answer in m/s to three significant figures. Use atomic mass units for the mass of each particle. Uranium 238 in atomic mass units is 238 to three significant figures.

A centimeter ruler, balanced at its center point, has two coins placed on it. One coin, of mass M1=10g, is placed at the zero mark; the other, of unknown mass M2, is placed at the 4.7 cm mark. The center of the ruler is at the 3.0 cm mark. The ruler is in equilibrium; it is perfectly balanced. Find the mass M2

If the inner diameter of the hollow sphere is ¾ of the outer diameter, (a) what is the diameter of the hollow space inside the sphere? (b) If instead the hollow sphere is made of brass (=8.60 g/cm3), by how much percent would the outer radius of the brass sphere be smaller compared to the aluminum sphere?
A 45.6 kg block is sliding along a frictionless surface with a speed of 70.8 m/s. It collides with a second block of mass 98 kg. The second block is initially at rest. After the collision, the first block has rebounded with a speed of 29.9 m/s. If this collision is one dimensional, what is the speed (in m/s) of the second block after the collision?

To keep the calculations fairly simple, but still reasonable, we shall model a human leg that is 92.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) by assuming that the upper leg and the lower leg (which includes the foot) have equal lengths and that each of them is uniform. For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg would be 8.80 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) would be 5.30 kg.
