    Study Notes

    Rotational Motion and Angular Speed

    • Circular Gears: Two circular gears of a given radius are mentioned, but details about their interaction are still missing.

    Skater's Angular Speed

    • Initial Angular Speed: An ice skater, with arms extended, has a moment of inertia modeled as a rod pivoted at the center, spinning at an initial angular speed.
    • Initial Moment of Inertia: Moment of inertia (I) is calculated with an extended arm length.
    • Arm Folding: Folding arms changes the extended arm length, modifies the moment of inertia (new I), and will change the angular speed.
    • New Angular Speed: The new angular speed needs calculation based on the new moment of inertia and conservation of angular momentum.

    Rod's Angular Acceleration

    • Uniform Rod: A uniform rod (length L, mass M) is pivoted frictionlessly on a wall.
    • Initial Position: Released from rest horizontally.
    • Angular Acceleration: Needs calculation based on its properties and known variables (length, mass).

    Sphere's Velocity on Incline

    • Solid Sphere Rolling: A solid sphere rolls down a frictionless incline (height h, angle θ).
    • Velocity at Bottom: Calculate the sphere's velocity at the bottom of the incline, rolling without slipping, relating velocity to known parameters.

    Clay and Cylinder Collision

    • Clay Velocity: A wad of clay (mass m, velocity v) impacts a solid cylinder (mass M, radius r) at rest.
    • Collision Result: The clay sticks to the rim, making the cylinder rotate.
    • Angular Speed Calculation: Calculate the cylinder's angular speed immediately after the collision using conservation of angular momentum.

    Lawn Roller Acceleration

    • Force on Cylinder: A constant horizontal force F is applied to a uniform solid cylinder (mass M, radius r), perpendicularly to its axis.
    • Uniform Solid Cylinder: Calculate the acceleration of the cylinder's center of mass (CM).

    Sign and Rod Tension

    • Sign and Rod System: A sign (mass m1) hangs from a rod (length L2, mass m2) uniformly distributed, supported by a cable.
    • Cable Support: Rod and sign system supported by a cable.
    • Tension in Cable: Calculate the tension in the cable, taking into account all relevant variables.

    Balanced Board and Counterweight

    • Uniform Board: A uniform board (length L, mass M) is balanced on a fulcrum.
    • Mass Placement: A mass m is at one end of the board.
    • Counterweight Placement: The distance from the fulcrum, where an identical mass m should be placed to balance, needs to be calculated.
