In Fig. 10 - 37, two particles, each with mass m = 0.85KG , are fastened to each other, and to a rotation axis at O , by two thin rods, each with length d = 5.6cm and mass M = 1.2kg . The combination rotates around the rotation axis with the angular speed v = 0.30rad/s . Measured about O, what are the combination’s (a) rotational inertia and (b) kinetic energy?

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent’s left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. Figure shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point . The gravitational force on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distance from point . His mass is , and his rotational inertia about point is .What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point if your pull on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of and applied at height ?

An object rotates about a fixed axis, and the angular position of a reference line on the object is given by,where is in radians and tis in seconds. Consider a point on the object that is from the axis of rotation. At , what are the magnitudes of the point’s
(a) tangential component of acceleration and
(b) radial component of acceleration?
