Identical particles are placed at the 50-cm and 80-cm marks on a meter stick of negligible mass. This rigid body is then mounted so as to rotate freely about a pivot at the 0-cm mark on the meter stick. If this body is released from rest in a horizontal position, what is the angular speed of the meter stick as it swings through its lowest position?
A. 4.2 rad/s
B. 5.4 rad/s
C. 4.6 rad/s
D. 5.0 rad/s
E. 1.7 rad/s
Answer: B

D) It increases or decreases depending on the sign of the phase angle. What will be an ideal response?
When a car goes around a circular curve on a level road without slipping,
A. no frictional force is needed because the car simply follows the road. B. the frictional force of the road on the car increases when the car's speed decreases. C. the frictional force of the road on the car increases when the car's speed increases. D. the frictional force of the road on the car increases when the car moves to the outside of the curve. E. there is no net frictional force because the road and the car exert equal and opposite forces on each other.
