Instruction: Encircle the letter of the best answer for the multiple-choice items. Show
your neat and complete solution in the box provided. Use the back side of this paper as
your scratch paper.
1. Ballet. A ballerina spins and completes one revolution in 1.50 [s]. If her moment of
inertia is 30.0 [kg m2 ] about the axis of her spin, what is the corresponding angular
momentum?
A. 126 [kg m2 /s]
C. 30.0 [kg m2 /s]
B. 20.0 [kg m2 /s]
D. 188 [kg m2 /s]
Solution: Solve for first then use L = I
2. Down the incline. A solid cylinder of radius

0.35 [m] is released from rest from a height of
1.8 [m] and rolls without slipping down the incline as shown. What is the angular speed of the
cylinder when it reaches the horizontal surface?
The moment of inertia of the solid cylinder about
1
its center is ICM = M R2 .
2
A. 8.2 rad/s
B. 14 rad/s
C. 34 rad/s
D. 67 rad/s
Solution: Conservation of Mechanical energy with rotation. Set the lowest point
to be the y = 0. Remember that we can use vCM = R since the cylinder rolls
without slipping.

Isolate , then substitute the values.
For items 3 and 4: The pulley-block system contains

a pulley with radius R = 2.00 [cm]. Let mA = 1.00
[kg] and mB = 2.00 [kg]. Assume that the horizontal surface is frictionless. The blocks move with constant linear acceleration of magnitude 4.00 [m/s2 ].
3. Forget Rotation. What are the magnitudes of tension force acting on mA and mB ?
A. TA = 9.81 N and TB = 8.00 N
C. TA = 9.81 N and TB = 11.6 N
B. TA = 4.00 N and TB = 8.00 N
D. TA = 4.00 N and TB = 11.6 N
Solution: Tension in A: Newton second law for the translational motion of

block A
TA = mA a = (1.00)(4.00) = 4.00
Tension in B: Newton second law for the translational motion of block B (set
upward as positive - if A accelerates to the right, then B should accelerate downward)
TB mB g = mB a TB = mB (g a) = (2)(9.81 4) = 11.62
4. The Moment. The pulley rolls with the string without slipping. What is the pulleys
moment of inertia about its axle?
A. 3.81 102 [kg m2 ]
C. 7.62 104 [kg m2 ]
B. 1.16 103 [kg m2 ]
D. 4.00 104 [kg m2 ]
Solution: Use the Newton second law for rotation (set counter clockwise as the
positive rotation - note that the pulley must spin clockwise):
a
TA R TB R = I (TA TB )R = I

(TA TB )R

5. This is how we roll. A 1.00-kg wheel in the form of a solid disk moves along a
horizontal surface with a speed of 6.00 [m/s] as it rolls without slipping. What is the
total kinetic energy of the wheel? (3 pts.)
Solution: You dont need the radius, you just need to use vCM = R which will
make the radius irrelevant in your calculation.

See that? Just do the substitution and you will get exactly 27.
6. Transformer. Iko-tron is a robot that can transform from a disk of radius R to a rod
of length 4R. In an outer space battle, Iko-tron spins in his disk form with an angular
speed of disk . He then transforms himself into a rod (see the extraordinary figure
below), giving him a new angular speed of rod . What is the ratio of disk to that of
rod ? (3 pts.)
Solution: Outer space, so walang ibang forces. The angular momentum is conserved.
Ldisk = Lrod
Idisk disk = Irod rod

7. Use the back page for the scratch. A uniform solid cylinder rolls without slipping
down an incline. What must be the angle of inclination if the linear acceleration of
the center of mass of the sphere is to have a magnitude of g/3? (5 pts.)
Solution: Newtons second law for translational motion along the incline (choose
down along the incline as the positive direction):
X
F = maCM M g sin f = M aCM
Two unknowns ( and f ), you need the help of the other second law for rotation:

1
1
2 aCM
f R = I f R = M R
f = M aCM
2
R

Now eliminate f . From the translational part:
3 aCM
1
M g sin f = M aCM M g sin M aCM = M aCM sin =
2
2 g
and you will get the amazing result sin = 1/2. Finally, the one and only angle
that we are looking for is... ten te nenen ... 30 !
