Children are playing a game of ice hockey on a frozen lake. One of the children throws a 1200g water bottle with velocity 0.4 m/s to another kid, weighing 41 kg, sitting motionless on the ice who catches the bottle 0.2 m from their COM at angle of impact of 12 degrees. The child on the ice has a center mass moment of inertia of 38 kg m^2. Assuming the ice is perfectly friction-less, answer the following. 1.) How does the catch add to their moment of inertia? 2.) What is the child's rotational motion after he brings the bottle closer to drink so it is now 0.1 m from their center of mass? 3.) How does a greater angle of impact affect the child's rotational motion? 4.) What is the child's rotational motion if the angle of impact was 22 degrees? (please explain using introductory physics techniques, thank you).

Suppose you have a system of two masses strung over a pulley. Mass 1 (6.7 kg) hangs on the right side of the pulley suspended over the ground at height 1.2 m. Mass 2 (2.5 kg) hangs over the left side of the pulley and rests on the ground. The pulley is a uniform disk of mass m and radius 11.3 cm. When the system is released, Mass 1 moves down and Mass 2 moves up, such that Mass 1 strikes the ground with speed 1.1 m/s. This is called an Atwood Machine. Calculate the mass of the pulley in kg.

A cylinder with rotational inertia I1 = 2.6 kg · m^2 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis through its center with angular speed ω1 = 5.8 rad/s. A second cylinder with rotational inertia I2 = 1.3 kg · m2 rotates counterclockwise about the same axis with angular speed ω2 = 6.6 rad/s. If the cylinders couple so they have the same rotational axis, what is the angular speed of the combination (in rad/s)?

1.14 [2pt] Consider two infinite wires 1 m apart with a uniform charge density per unit length 1 C/m. Calculate the force per unit length between the wires. To do this, just select a tiny, nearly point-like section of a wire of length Land calculate the force due to the electric field of the other wire using the Coulomb’s law. Your answer should be proportional to L. Divide it by L and this is the force per unit length.
