A Texas cockroach of mass 0.108 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical axle) that has a radius 12.4 cm, rotational inertia 4.19 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.81 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.56 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?

A 50 kg woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of 560 kg·m2 and a radius of 2.0 m. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the Earth. (a) In what direction and with what angular speed...

Two disks are mounted (like a merry-go-round) on low-friction bearings on the same axle and can be brought together so that they couple and rotate as one unit. The first disk, with rotational inertia 3.88 kg·m2 about its central axis, is set spinning counterclockwise (which may be taken as the positive direction) at 176 rev/min. The second disk, with rotational inertia 7.15 kg·m2 about its central axis, is set spinning counterclockwise at 823 rev/min. They then couple together. (a) What...

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...
