A small 350-gram ball on the end of a thin, light rod is rotated in a horizontal circle of a radius of 1.2 m. Calculate (a) the moment of inertia of the ball about the center of the circle and (b) the torque needed to keep the ball rotating at a constant angular velocity if the air resistance exerts a force of 0.020 N on the ball. Ignore the air resistance on the rod and its moment of inertia.
A child rolls a ball on a level floor 3.5 m to another child. If the ball makes 12.0 revolutions, what is its diameter?
An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen atoms whose total mass is \({\bf{5}}{\bf{.3 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 26}}}}\;{\bf{kg}}\) and the moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to the line joining the two atoms, midway between them, is \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.9 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 46}}}}\;{\bf{kg}} \cdot {{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\). From these data, estimate the effective distance between the atoms.
A spherical asteroid with radius\(r = 123\;{\rm{m}}\)and mass\(M = 2.25 \times {10^{10}}\;{\rm{kg}}\)rotates about an axis at four revolutions per day. A 鈥渢ug鈥 spaceship attaches itself to the asteroid鈥檚 south pole (as defined by the axis of rotation) and fires its engine, applying a force F tangentially to the asteroid鈥檚 surface as shown in Fig. 8鈥65. If\(F = 285\;{\rm{N}}\)how long will it take the tug to rotate the asteroid鈥檚 axis of rotation through an angle of 5.0掳 by this method?
