Re: Hovercraft B/C
Sorry, I thought that since I got it wrong, someone else could have a go at the right answer and put up the next question.
You drop a ball from a 26 meter tall building on earth. Find the velocity when the ball hit the ground. Assume no air resistance and gravity as 9.81. Show all work.

v^2=0-2g(26)
v^2=510.12
v=22.5858 m --> v~23 m

All correct, except for that one little misclick. (You typed "-" instead of "+" in line 2. Your go!)RestingDoll wrote:v^2=vi^2+2a(delta_y)Zioly wrote:Sorry, I thought that since I got it wrong, someone else could have a go at the right answer and put up the next question.

Re: Hovercraft B/C
A small 60 g point mass starts sliding down a frictionless surface at 30 cm in height, then sticks to the end of a uniform rod of mass 120 g and length 40 cm. The rod rotates about a point "O" lengthwise and its moment of inertia about that point is given by 1/3 mr^2. After the point mass sticks to the rod, it pivots to an angle theta, before momentarily stopping. Find theta. (Hint: Don't forget that the potential energy stored after it pivots is based on the center of mass of the entire system.)

75.5 degrees. If I'm correct, the 1/3mr^2 only matters to determine where the center of mass is.

Re: Hovercraft B/C
Interesting... I think you may be forgetting that the center of mass of the system is different than the center of mass of the rod.Tom_MS wrote:RestingDoll wrote:A small 60 g point mass starts sliding down a frictionless surface at 30 cm in height, then sticks to the end of a uniform rod of mass 120 g and length 40 cm.
