An electric motor exerts a constant torque of τ=10N⋅m on a grindstone mounted on its shaft; the moment of inertia of the grindstone is I=2.0kg⋅m2. If the system starts from rest, find the work done by the motor in 8.0 s and the kinetic energy at the end of this time. What was the average power delivered by the motor?

As shown in the figure (Figure 1) , a superball with mass m equal to 50 grams is dropped from a height of hi=1.5m . It collides with a table, then bounces up to a height of hf=1.0m . The duration of the collision (the time during which the superball is in contact with the table) is tc=15ms . In this problem, take the positive y direction to be upward, and use g=9.8m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Neglect air resistance.
