Review Problem
A woman rolls a cylindrical drum by pushing a
board across its top. The drum moves through
the distance L/2, which is half the board’s
length. The drum rolls smoothly without sliding
or bouncing, and the board does not slide over
the drum.
A) What length of board rolls over the top of the
drum?
B) How far does the woman walk?

Quiz 1
A rhinoceros beetle rides the rim of a small disk
that rotates like a merry-go-round. If the beetle
crawls toward the center of the disk, does the
moment of inertia of the beetle-disk system…
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Remain the Same
Quiz 2

that rotates like a merry-go-round. If the beetle
crawls toward the center of the disk, does the
Angular momentum of the beetle-disk system…
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Remain the Same
Quiz 3
A rhinoceros beetle rides the rim of a small disk
that rotates like a merry-go-round. If the beetle
crawls toward the center of the disk, does the
angular speed of the beetle-disk system…
A) Increase
B) Decrease
C) Remain the Same
Sample Problem 1
In the overhead view of the figure, four thin, uniform rods, each
of mass M and length d = 0.50m, are rigidly connected to a
vertical axle to form a turnstile. The turnstile rotates clockwise
about the axle, which is attached to a floor, with initial angular
velocity πœ”π‘– = βˆ’2.0rad/s. A mud ball of mass m = M/3 and initial
speed 𝑣𝑖 = 12m/s is thrown along the path shown and sticks to
the end of one rod.
What is the final angular velocity πœ”π‘“ of the ball-turnstile
system?
Sample Problem 2
A bola, which consists of three heavy balls connected to a
common point by identical lengths of sturdy string, is readied
for launch by holding one of the balls overhead and rotating
the wrist, causing the other two balls to rotate in a horizontal
circle about the hand. The bola is then released, and its
configuration rapidly changes from that in the overhead view
of fig1 to that of fig2. Thus the rotation is initially around axis
1 through the ball that was held. Then it is around axis 2
through the center of mass.
Are (a) the angular momentum and (b) the angular speed
around axis 2 greater than, less than, or the same as that
around axis 1?
