Avery light, inextensible string is wrapped around a cylindrical spool. the end of the string is held fixed, and the spool is released so it starts falling, as the string unwinds. because the spool is basically hollow, you can take its moment of inertia to be i = mr2.

(a) draw an extended free-body diagram for the spool as it unrolls.
(b) find the linear acceleration of the spool as it accelerates toward the ground.
(c) let the mass of the spool be 0.1kg. what is its translational kinetic energy after it has fallen for 0.5 s?
(d) what is its rotational kinetic energy at that time?
(e) what is the tension in the string? does this change as the spool falls? (remember the mass of the string is negligible.)
(f) if the radius of the spool is 3cm, what is the magnitude of the torque (around the center of mass) exerted by the tension?

Students design a model roller-coaster track. they place a rubber ball at the highest point on the track and let it go. the ball rolls along the track pulled only by the force of gravity. eventually, it comes to a stop. which change to the design will result in the ball moving the greatest distance?

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
