Each year at a college, there is a tradition of having a hoop rolling competition. alex rolls his 0.25 kg hoop down the course. if the hoop has a radius of 0.5 m, what is the moment of inertia of alex’s rolling hoop?

You are given a vector a = 125i and an unknown vector b that is perpendicular to a. the cross-product of these two vectors is a × b = 98k. what is the y-component of vector b?

The scalar triple product computes the magnitude m of the moment of a force vector f about a specified line. it is m = (r × f) · n, where r is the position vector from the line to the point of application of the force and n is a unit vector in the direction of the line. use matlab to compute the magnitude m for the case where f = [12, −5, 4] n, r = [−3, 5, 2] m, and n = [6, 5, −7].

Aplayground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about a vertical axle through its center. a child applies a 26.0 n force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 15.0 seconds. if the merry-go-round is initially at rest, how much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?
