A sphere of uniform density with mass 22 kg and radius 0.7 m is spinning, making one complete revolution every 0.5 s. The center of mass of the sphere has a speed of4 m?s(a) What is the rotational kinetic energy Of the sphere? (b) What is the total kinetic energy of the sphere?
A rod of length Land negligible mass is attached to a uniform disk of mass Mand radius R (Figure 9.64). A string is wrapped around the disk, and you pull on the string with a constant force F . Two small balls each of mass mslide along the rod with negligible friction. The apparatus starts from rest, and when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, a length of string shas come off the disk, and the balls have collided with the ends of the rod and stuck there. The apparatus slides on a nearly frictionless table. Here is a view from above:

(a) At this instant, what is the speed vof the center of the disk? (b) At this instant the angular speed of the disk is . How much internal energy change has there been?
A uniform-density disk of mass 13 kg, thickness 0.5 m. and radius 0.2 m make one complete rotation every 0.6 s. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the disk?
A sphere or cylinder of mass M, radius R and moment of inertia I rolls without slipping down a hill of height h, starting from rest. As explained in problem P.33, if there is no slipping . (a) In terms of given variables (M,R,I and h), what is at the bottom of hill? (b) If the object is a thin hollow cylinder, what is at the bottom of hill? (c) If the object is a uniform density hollow cylinder, ), what is at the bottom of hill? (d) If the object is a uniform density sphere what is at the bottom of hill? An interesting experiment that you can perform that is to roll various objects down an inclined board and see how much time each one takes to reach the bottom.
