A uniform rod (length = 2.4 m) of negligible mass has a 1.0-kg point mass attached to one end and a 2.0-kg point mass attached to the other end. The rod is mounted to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the rod and that passes through a point 1.0 m from the 2.0-kg mass. The rod is released from rest when it is horizontal. What is the angular velocity of the rod at the
instant the 2.0-kg mass passes through its low point?
a. 1.7 rad/s
b. 2.2 rad/s
c. 2.0 rad/s
d. 1.5 rad/s
e. 3.1 rad/s

Kepler's Laws: As you know, the earth has an orbital period of 1.0 year at an orbital radius of 1.0 AU (astronomical unit, the average distance between the earth and the sun). If a new "minor planet" were to be found in a circular orbit with radius 13 AU, what would be its orbital period?

A 1.6-kg ball is attached to the end of a 0.40-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string horizontal. At the lowest point of its swing, when it is moving horizontally, the ball collides with a 0.80-kg block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The speed of the block just after the collision is 3.0 m/s. What is the speed of the ball just
after the collision? a. 1.7 m/s b. 1.1 m/s c. 1.5 m/s d. 1.3 m/s e. 2.1 m/s
