1. For the solid sphere, we can use the formula:

$$ I = \frac{2}{5}MR^2 $$ $$ \alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} $$

where:

  • I is the moment of inertia of the sphere
  • M is the mass of the sphere
  • R is the radius of the sphere

Then, the torque required to stop the sphere can be calculated using:

$$ \tau = I \alpha $$

2. The angular momentum of the disc is given by:

$$ L = I\omega $$

We can calculate the moment of inertia of the disc using the formula:

$$I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$$

where:

  • M is the mass of the disc
  • R is the radius of the disc

Thus, we have :

$$L= \frac {1} {2}MR^2 \times \omega $$

3. The angular momentum of the particle is given by:

$$ L = mvr $$

where:

  • m is the mass of the particle
  • v is the speed of the particle
  • r is the radius of the circular path

4. Treating the two particles as point masses, the total angular momentum of the system is:

$$ L = I\omega $$

where:

I = the total moment of inertia of the system I can be calculated as:

$$I = m_1r_1^2 + m_2r_2^2 $$ $$ I= (4)(0.25)^2 + (6)(0.25)^2 $$ $$ I = 2.5 \ kg \ m^2$$

where:

  • m1 and m2 are the masses of the two particles
  • r1 and r2 are the distances of the particles from the center of mass

5. The kinetic energy of the flywheel is given by:

$$ K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$$

where:

  • I is the moment of inertia of the flywheel
  • ω is the angular velocity of the flywheel

To calculate the moment of inertia of the flywheel, we can use the formula:

$$ I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$$

where:

  • M is the mass of the flywheel
  • R is the radius of the flywheel

Hence, the kinetic energy becomes:

$$ K=\frac {1} {2}MR^2 \omega^2 $$

1. For the pivoted rod, the angular acceleration can be calculated using the formula:

$$ \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$$ where:

  • τ is the torque acting on the rod
