If an object’s rotational kinetic energy is 50 J and it rotates with an angular speed of 12 rad/s, what is the moment of inertia?
Two disks are initially at rest, each of mass M, connected by a string between their centers, as shown in Figure 9.55. The disks slide on low-friction ice as the center of the string is pulled by a string with a constant force F through a distance d. The disks collide and stick together, having moved a distance b horizontally.

(a) What is the final speed of the stuck-together disks? (b) When the disks collide and stick together, their temperature rises Calculate the increase in internal energy of the disks assuming that the process is so fast that there is insufficient time for there to be much transfer of energy to the ice due to a temperature difference. (Also ignore the small amount of energy radiated away as sound produced in the collisions between the disks)
The Earth is from the Sun and takes a year to make one complete orbit. It rotates on its own axis once per day. It can be treated approximately as a uniform-density sphere of mass and radius (actually, its center has higher density than the rest of the planet and the Earth bulges out a bit at the equator). Using this crude approximation, calculate the following: (a) What is ? (b) What is ?(c) What is , the angular speed of rotation around its own axis? (d) What is ? (e) What is ?
Under what conditions does the energy equation for the point particle system differ from the energy equation for the extended system? Give two examples of such a situation. Give one example of a situation where the two equations look exactly alike.
A string is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M and radius R. Attached to the disk are four low-mass rods of radius b, each with a small mass m at the end (Figure 9.63).
The apparatus is initially at rest on a nearly frictionless surface. Then you pull the string with a constant force F. At the instant when the center of the disk has moved a distance d, an additional length w of string has unwound off the disk. (a) At this instant, what is the speed of the center of the apparatus? Explain your approach. (b) At this instant, what is the angular speed of the apparatus? Explain your approach.
