A simple gyroscope consists of a wheel (M = 2.0 kg, R = 0.75 m, I = 1.1 kg·m2) rotating on a horizontal shaft. If the shaft is balanced on a pivot 0.50 m from the wheel, and the wheel rotates at 500 rev/min, what is the precession frequency of the wheel?

Abatter hits the baseball a with an initial velocity of v0 = 110 ft/sec directly toward fielder b at an angle of 23° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.2 ft above ground level. fielder b requires 0.44 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. because of great experience, fielder b chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the “catch position” simultaneously with the baseball. the catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 8.4 ft. determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

How does the image distance (di) of a convex lens compare with the image distance of a concave lens? a. the image distance of the convex lens is positive, and that of the concave lens is negative. b. both are negative for a virtual image. c. both are positive for a virtual image d. the image distance of the convex lens is negative, and that of the concave lens is positive.

Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.19 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.79. at what angle of incidence is the reflected light fully polarized?
