A weather vane initially at rest has a moment of inertia of 0.125 kg · m2 about its axis of rotation. A 50.5 g piece of clay is thrown at the vane and sticks to it at a point 13.5 cm from the axis. The initial velocity of the clay is 17.0 m/s, directed perpendicular to the vane. Find the angular velocity of the weather vane just after it is struck.

A horizontal turntable is made from a uniform solid disk and is initially rotating with angular velocity of 7.1 rad/s about a fixed vertical axis through its center. The turntable has a radius of 0.23 m and a moment of inertia of 0.04761 kg m2 about the rotation axis. A piece of clay, initially at rest, is dropped onto the turntable and sticks to it at a distance d= 0.16 m from its center as shown in the figure. The...

A light-weight potter’s wheel, having a moment of inertia of 24 kg*m^2, is spinning freely at 40 rpm. The potter drops a small but dense lump of clay onto the wheel, where it sticks a distance 1.2m from the rotational axis. The subsequent angular speed of the wheel and clay is 32 rpm. The axis of the wheel is vertically directed, and the wheel is initially spinning in the counter-clockwise direction when looking down on the wheel from above. After...

A very thin 2.0-kg disk with a diameter of 80 cm is mounted horizontally to rotate freely about a central vertical axis. On the edge of the disk, sticking out a little, is a small, essentially massless, tab or "catcher." A 2.0-g wad of clay is fired at a speed of 14.0 m/s directly at the tab perpendicular to it and tangent to the disk. The clay sticks to the tab, which is initially at rest, at a distance of...

A playground merry-go-round has a moment of inertia of 600 kg m2. When the merry-go-round is at rest, a 20 kg boy runs at 5.9 m/s along a line tangential to the rim and jumps on, landing on the rim a distance of 3.0 m from the rotation axis of the merry-go-round. The angular velocity of the merry-go-round is then: A.1.2 rad/s B.0.38 rad/s C.0.45 rad/s D.0.56 rad/s E.0.72 rad/s

Two disks are rotating about the same axis. Disk A has a moment of inertia of 3.1 kg · m2 and an angular velocity of +8.0 rad/s. Disk B is rotating with an angular velocity of -9.3 rad/s. The two disks are then linked together without the aid of any external torques, so that they rotate as a single unit with an angular velocity of -2.2 rad/s. The axis of rotation for this unit is the same as that for...
