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 the lump of clay is dropped onto the wheel, in what direction is the angular acceleration vector pointing as the angular speed changes?

A uniform cylindrical turntable of radius 2.00 m and mass 31.2 kg rotates counterclockwise in a horizontal plane with an initial angular speed of 4? rad/s. The fixed turntable bearing is frictionless. A lump of clay of mass 2.42 kg and negligible size is dropped onto the turntable from a small distance above it and immediately sticks to the turntable at a point 1.90 m to the east of the axis. 1. Find the final angular speed of the clay...

a bicycle wheel with radius R,mass M,and moment of inertia I=3/4MR^2 is mounted inthe shop so that it can freely turn around a fixed horizontal axis. Someone walking by accidently drops a glob(mass m) of rubber sement on the tire at a point that is a horizontal distance 1/2 R from the wheel's center. the gob has a vertical speed |v| just before it hits. What is the magnitude |w| of the wheel's angular velocity just after the glob hits...

A child pushes her friend (m = 25 kg) located at a radius r = 1.5 m on a merry-go-round (rmgr = 2.0 m, Imgr = 1000 kg*m2) with a constant force F = 90 N applied tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round (i.e., the force is perpendicular to the radius). The merry-go-round resists spinning with a frictional force of f = 10 N acting at a radius of 1 m and a frictional torque τ = 15 N*m...
