c. What is the change in the momentum of the puck?

d. What is the final momentum of the puck?

e. What is the final velocity of the puck?

6. Continuing your hockey playing you hit a puck so that it spins at 70.0 rpm (revolutions/min). The puck is a solid disk with a mass of 162 grams, a radius of 3.81 cm.

a. What is the moment of inertia of the puck in SI units?

b. Determine the torque necessary to bring the puck to rest in 0.100 seconds?

c. If the torque is produced by friction parallel(tangent) to the edge of the puck, what is the size of the frictional force?

7. The banners flying over the lodge weigh 15.0N and are attached so the center of mass is 1.80m from the wall. The horizontal pole itself weighs 40.0N and has its CM in the middle. It is hinged at the wall. The pole is2.40m long. A cable is attached to the end of the pole and makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal.

a. Draw an FBD of the horizontal pole. (don't forget the force components at the wall)

b. What is the tension in the cable?

c. What are the x and y components of the force at the wall?

a. If she pulls her arms in to decrease her moment of inertia to 1.8 kgm2, what will be her new angular speed?

b. If the tip of her nose is 15 cm from the axis of rotation what is its linear(tangential) speed of her nose tip with her arms pulled in?

9. In your race down the hill you make a sweeping curve of 20.0 m radius at a speed of 12.0 m/s. Your mass is 50.0kg.

a. What is your angular speed?

b. What radial (centripetal) force is required on your skis in order to make the turn?

c. If the curve forms a quarter of a circle, how long will it take to go through the turn?

10. This is a hypothetical problem. A super high (impossibly high) ski jump is built. The skier starts from rest at the top of this jump which is 620,000m above the surface of the earth'

a. What is the skier's potential energy? Use g as if it remained constant

b. What is the increase in kinetic energy when the skier reaches the earth?

c. What speed will the skier have when she reaches the surface of the earth?

Bonus: What minimum height must the ski jump be so the skier can orbit the earth just above the earth's surface? Hint: the necessary speed can be found using concepts of uniform circular motion and universal gravity.
