2D Car Collision
Car Collision in 2D (c7p50) A 900- kg car collides with a 1400- kg car that was initially at rest at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. After the collision, the lighter car moves at 10.0 km/h in a direction of 35 degrees with respect to the positive x axis. The heavier car moves at 13 km/h at -41 degrees with respect to the positive x axis.
A) What was the initial speed of the lighter car (in km/h)? ____Tries 0/7
B) What was the initial direction (as measured counterclockwise from the x-axis)? ___Tries 0/7

At t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 27.0 rad/s . It has a constant angular acceleration of 25.0 rad/s2 until a circuit breaker trips at time t = 2.00 s . From then on, it turns through an angle 430 rad as it coasts to a stop at constant angular acceleration.
Through what total angle did the wheel turn between t=0 and the time it stopped?At what time did it stopWhat was its acceleration as it slowed down?

Imagine that you have just purchased a coffee in a cup, with a lid. You place your coffee cup on a table and it starts to cool down. We are going to model this cooling process. Choose whatever type of coffee cup you are most familiar with.
2. Do a Ninja Physics estimate of how long it will take for the sides of the cup to warm up.
The specific heat capacity of water (and coffee) is around 4200 J Kg-1 K-1. Cardboard has a thermal conductivity of around k ~ 0.025 W m-2 K-1 , a density of around 700 kg m-3 and a specific heat capacity of around 1400 J kg-1 K-1. Glass has a thermal conductivity of around k ~ 1 W m-2 K-1, a density of around 2500 kg m-3 and a specific heat capacity of around 700 J kg-1 K-1. Styrofoam (foamed plastic) has a thermal conductivity similar to air and a density of around 50 kg m-3, while hard plastics have thermal conductivities of k ~ 0.025 W m-2 K-1 and densities similar to water: both have specific heat capacities of around 1500 J Kg-1 K-1.

A thin spool with a mass of 2.0kg and a radius of 15cm is hung in a fixed position so that it is free to rotate. A massless string is wrapped around it with a 0.80kg mass tied at the end. When the mass is released, the spool begins to unwind.
What is the rotational inertia of the spool? (You can treat it as a thin disk.)
What is the kinetic energy and angular momentum of the spool 2.0s after the
hanging mass is released?
What is the kinetic energy and angular momentum of the spool after 3 full
rotations?
