Practice Problems Physics (Work, Power, Energy and Rotational)

This document contains 6 practice physics problems involving work, power, energy, and rotational motion. Problem 1 involves finding the time and velocity for a hoop to start rolling without slipping on a pavement. Problem 2 involves calculating the moment of inertia and angular acceleration/velocity of a rod with attached masses that is pivoted at one end and released. Problem 3 involves calculating the velocity of a flat car leaking sand. Problem 4 involves calculating velocities and angular velocities after a point mass collides with and sticks to the end of a uniform rod. Problem 5 involves calculating the average force and power required to hold a machine gun firing bullets. Problem 6 involves calculating forces, energies, and particle coordinates as a function of time for a particle with given

acquire an angular speed. Eventually the hoop rolls without slipping and let be the coefficient of
friction

b) Find out the velocity of the hoop at no slipping.
