The Earth has an angular speed of 7.272·10^-5 rad/s in its rotation. Find the new angular speed if an asteroid (m = 3.91·10²² kg) hits the Earth while traveling at a speed of 2.87·10³m/s (assume the asteroid is a point mass compared to the radius of the Earth) in each of the following cases:

a) The asteroid hits the Earth dead center.

b) The asteroid hits the Earth nearly tangentially in the direction of Earth's rotation.

c) The asteroid hits the Earth nearly tangentially in the direction opposite of Earth's rotation.

Two spheres are each rotating at an angular speed of 24.6 rad/s about axes that pass through their centers. Each has a radius of 0.440 m and a mass of 1.65 kg. However, one is solid and the other is a thin-walled spherical shell. Suddenly, a net external torque due to friction (magnitude = 0.230 N · m) begins to act on each sphere and slows the motion down. How long does it take (a) the solid sphere and (b)...
