question
A group of students must conduct an experiment to determine how the location of an applied force on a classroom door affects the rotational motion of the door. The rotational inertia of the door about its hinges is known. The initial angular velocity of the door is zero. The students conduct the experiment and gather data about the net torque exerted on the door and angular acceleration of the door for several trials. They create a graph of the door's angular acceleration as a function of the net torque and sketch a best-fit line through the data. How can the students analyze the data to determine the rotational inertia of the door about its hinges?
Determine the inverse of the slope of the best-fit line.

question
A uniform rod is at rest on a horizontal surface. A student may launch a sphere of clay toward the rod along one of the three paths shown in the figure. Path X and path Z are directed toward the center of mass of the rod. In each case, the sphere of clay is launched with the same linear speed and sticks to the rod. In each case, the time of collision between the sphere of clay and the rod is time t0. A pivot is fixed to the end of the rod, representing the point at which the rod or clay-rod system may rotate.

All three spheres of clay are launched with the same initial linear speed and collide with the rod at the same time. The time of collision with the rod for each sphere is time t0. Which of the following predictions is correct about the motion of the system containing the rod and all three spheres of clay immediately after the collision?

the one that looks like half of a frown ( my face when I saw the score)
question
A disk is fixed to a horizontal axle that extends between two supports, as shown in the figure. Frictional forces between the axle and the supports is not negligible. At time ts, the disk rotates about the center axle with an initial angular speed wd. A student measures the angular displacement Δθ0 of a point on the edge of the disk from time ts until the disk no longer rotates. The angular acceleration of the disk is determined to be αd, and this value remains constant. Based on the data, if possible, how could the student predict the angular displacement of a point on the edge of the disk from time ts until the disk no longer rotates if the initial angular speed is increased to 2ωd ? Justify your selection.
Use the equation ω2=ω20+2α(θ−θ0), because the disk comes to rest, ω0=2ωd, and α=αd. Solve for θ−θ0.
question
A point on a rotating object has an initial angular velocity ω0 and rotates with an angular acceleration α0 for a time interval from t=0 to time t=t0. The point then rotates at a constant angular speed until time t=t1. What is the angular displacement of the point from t=0 to t=t1? Express your answer in terms of ω0, α0, t0, t1, and/or any fundamental constants as appropriate.
ω0t0+12α0t20+(ω0+α0t0)t1
question

The object is released from rest and it falls to the floor at time t1. Which of the following pairs of graphs best represents the angular speed as a function of time for the pulley and the vertical speed as a function of time for the falling object for a short time after it is released from rest?
angular: half a trapezoid vertical: triangle
question
A net force is applied to the edge of a disk that has a diameter of 0.5m. The disk is initially at rest. A graph of the net force as a function of time for the edge of the disk is shown. The net force is applied tangent to the edge of the disk. How can a student use the graph to determine the change in angular momentum of the disk after 8s? Justify your selection.
Determine the vertical intercept, multiply the result by 0.25m, and then multiply that result by 8s. This procedure can be used because ΔL=τΔtΔL=τΔt with τ=rF.
question
A net torque is applied to the edge of a spinning object as it rotates about its internal axis. The table shows the net torque exerted on the object at different instants in time.

Create a graph of net torque as a function of time and graph four points of data by using the table. Determine the area bound by the curve and the horizontal axis from 0s to 6s, because the shape of the curve on the graph will be a right triangle and the area can be directly determined.
