one-fourth the mass of the rod. (a) What is the nal angular speed
of the rod? (b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the system
after the collision to the kinetic energy of the bullet before the
collision?
10.92 .. The solid wood door of a gymnasium is 1.00 m wide
and 2.00 m high, has total mass 35.0 kg, and is hinged along
one side. The door is open and at rest when a stray basketball
hits the center of the door head-on, applying an average force of
1500 N to the door for 8.00 ms. Find the angular speed of the
door after the impact. [Hint: Integrating Eq. (10.29) yields

t
L z = 1t121gtz2dt = 1 gtz2av t. The quantity 1t121gtz2dt is
called the angular impulse.]
10.93 ... A target in a shooting gallery consists of a vertical square
wooden board, 0.250 m on a side and with mass 0.750 kg, that pivots on a horizontal axis along its top edge. The board is struck faceon at its center by a bullet with mass 1.90 g that is traveling at
360 m>s and that remains embedded in the board. (a) What is the
angular speed of the board just after the bullets impact? (b) What
maximum height above the equilibrium position does the center of
the board reach before starting to swing down again? (c) What minimum bullet speed would be required for the board to swing all the
way over after impact?
10.94 .. Neutron Star Glitches. Occasionally, a rotating neutron star (see Exercise 10.41) undergoes a sudden and unexpected
speedup called a glitch. One explanation is that a glitch occurs
when the crust of the neutron star settles slightly, decreasing the
moment of inertia about the rotation axis. A neutron star with
angular speed v0 = 70.4 rad>s underwent such a glitch in October
1975 that increased its angular speed to v = v0 + v, where
v>v0 = 2.01 * 10 -6. If the radius of the neutron star before the
glitch was 11 km, by how much did its radius decrease in the starquake? Assume that the neutron star is a uniform sphere.

tionary vertical bar, hitting it
25.0 cm below the top (Fig.
P10.95). The bar is uniform,
0.750 m long, has a mass of
1.50 kg, and is hinged at its
base. The collision stuns the

bird so that it just drops to the
ground afterward (but soon
recovers to y happily away). What is the angular velocity of the
bar (a) just after it is hit by the bird and (b) just as it reaches the
ground?
10.96 ... CP A small block with mass 0.250 kg is attached to a
string passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (see
Fig. E10.42). The block is originally revolving in a circle with a
radius of 0.800 m about the hole with a tangential speed of 4.00 m>s.
The string is then pulled slowly from below, shortening the radius of
the circle in which the block revolves. The breaking strength of the
string is 30.0 N. What is the radius of the circle when the string
breaks?
10.97 . A horizontal plywood disk with mass 7.00 kg and diameter 1.00 m pivots on frictionless bearings about a vertical axis
through its center. You attach a circular model-railroad track of negligible mass and average diameter 0.95 m to the disk. A 1.20-kg,
battery-driven model train rests on the tracks. To demonstrate conservation of angular momentum, you switch on the trains engine.
The train moves counterclockwise, soon attaining a constant speed
