In the ammonia (NH3) molecule of the figure, three hydrogen (H) atoms form an equilateral triangle, with the center of the triangle at
distance d = 9.40 1011 m from each hydrogen atom. The nitrogen (N) atom is at the apex of a pyramid, with the three hydrogen atoms
forming the base. The nitrogen-to-hydrogen atomic mass ratio is 13.9, and the nitrogen-to-hydrogen distance is
What are the (a) x and (b) ycoordinates of the molecule's center of mass?
L = 10.14 1011 m.

An astronaut is being tested in a centrifuge. The centrifuge has a radius of 12 m and, in starting, rotates according to = 0.22t , where t is in
seconds and is in radians. When t = 5.0 s, what are the magnitudes of the astronaut's (a) angular velocity, (b) linear
velocity, (c) tangential acceleration, and (d) radial acceleration?
uniform density (mass per unit volume) of 1.40 10 kg/m and a uniform thickness of 6.00 mm. What is the rotational inertia of the twodisk assembly about the rotation axis through O?
figure). A massless cord passes around the equator of the shell, over a pulley of rotational inertia I = 0.210 kgm and radius r = 0.110 m,
and is attached to a small object of mass m = 2.80 kg. There is no friction on the pulley's axle; the cord does not slip on the pulley. What is
the speed of the object when it has fallen a distance 1.41 m after being released from rest? Use energy considerations.
A yo-yo has a rotational inertia of 951 gcm and a mass of 108 g. Its axle radius is 2.21 mm, and its string is 97.7 cm long. The yo-yo rolls
from rest down to the end of the string. (a) What is the magnitude of its linear acceleration? (b) How long does it take to reach the end of
the string? As it reaches the end of the string, what are its (c) linear speed, (d) translational kinetic energy, (e) rotational kinetic energy,
and (f) angular speed?
At time t,

magnitude of the particles angular momentum relative to the origin increasing, decreasing, or unchanging?
0.169 kgm . As the rod swings through its lowest position, it collides with a 0.127 kg putty wad that sticks to the end of the rod. If the rod's
angular speed just before the collision is 2.78 rad/s, what is the angular speed of the rod-putty system immediately after the collision?
through the horizontal position. Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.83 m/s .
kgm . A massless cord wrapped around the wheel's circumference is attached to a 7.00 kg box. The system is released from rest.When the
box has a kinetic energy of 6.00 J, what are (a) the wheel's rotational kinetic energy and (b) the distance the box has fallen? Assume free2
