A gyroscope spinning at angular velocity of 250 r/s is used to start up a stalled engine. If the gyroscope has a mass of 3.6 kg and is an annular disc of radii 10 cm and 15 cm, calculate the maximum rate of revolution at which the gyroscope can get the engine turning. Assume the moving engine parts act like a solid sphere of mass 25 kg and radius 12 cm.

A solid disk is rotating about a frictionless axle with an initial angular velocity of 15 rad/s in a clockwise direction. The disk has a mass of 5.0 kg and a radius of 15 cm. A force of 20 N is applied to the disk for 0.5 s. This force is applied in a direction tangent to the edge of the disk that causes the disk to increase speed in the clockwise direction. I (disk) = ½ MR^2 a. What...

A quarterback is set up to throw the football to a receiver who is running with a constant velocity ~vr directly away from the quarterback and is now a distance D away from the quarterback. The quarterback estimates that the ball must be thrown at an angle θ to the horizontal and the receiver must catch the ball a time interval tc after it is thrown. Assume the ball is thrown and caught at the same height y = 0...
