A bird flies overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 300.0 m and at a speed horizontal to the ground of 20.0 m/s. The bird has a mass of 2.0 kg. The radius vector to the bird makes an angle θ with respect to the ground. The radius vector to the bird and its momentum vector lie in the xy-plane. What is the bird's angular momentum about the point where you are standing?

A 50 kg child stands on the edge of a stationary thin rod of length 5.0 m and mass M = 100 kg, free to rotate around its center of mass O. The child catches a ball of mass 2.0 kg thrown by a friend. Just before the ball is caught, the ball has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 30 ms−1, at angle θ = π/4 with a rod, as shown in Fig. 4 (a) What is the angular speed of the thin rod just after the ball is caught? (b) What is the mechanical energy of the child after the ball has been caught? [6 marks] (c) With what horizontal velocity, at an angle ϕ = π/6 with respect to the rod, has the boy to throw away the ball such that after the launch he will stay at rest? [7 marks]

The diagram shows a thin rod of uniform mass distribution pivoted about one end by a pin passing through that point. The mass of the rod is 0.700 kg and its length is 1.41 m. When the rod is released from its horizontal position, it swings down to the vertical position as shown. What is the angular momentum of the center of mass of the rod about the pin when the rod has rotated through an angle θ = 22.5∘? We use the standard rectangular coordinate system with +x axis to the right, +y axis vertically up, and +z axis out toward you. (Express your answer in vector form.) L→ = kg⋅m2/s

(a) In a minor rail yard accident, a runaway goods truck of mass 1.85×104 kg collides at u = 20.0 ms−1 with a stationary truck of mass 2.20×104 kg, as shown in Figure 3. The trucks lock together and travel at the same speed after the collision. Assume friction is negligible. Figure 3 Sketch of the runaway and stationary goods trucks, for use in Question 10. (i) Show that the speed of the trucks after the collision is 9.14 ms−1. (ii) One of the truck wheels can be modelled as a solid disk of radius 4.60×10−1 m and moment of inertia 36.5 kgm2. Calculate the magnitude of the wheel's angular momentum after the collision. (iii) The truck's linear velocity vector is in the positive x-direction using the Cartesian coordinate system shown in Figure 3. What is the direction of the wheel's angular momentum vector? Briefly explain your reasoning. (b) The train driver sounds the train's whistle. The whistle is a pipe that is open at one end and closed at the other, and it has a length of 0.480 m. The speed of sound in air is 343 ms−1. (i) Sketch the standing wave pattern of the air pressure in the whistle for its fundamental resonant frequency. Clearly indicate the open and closed ends of the whistle pipe. (ii) Hence calculate the frequency of the sound made by the whistle's fundamental resonance. (c) An observer standing on a bridge above the train track hears the whistle as the train approaches at a speed of 40.0 ms−1. (i) Show that the whistle frequency perceived by the observer is 13.2% greater than the frequency perceived by the driver. (ii) Describe how the sound of the whistle, as heard by the observer, will change as the train approaches and goes past the bridge.
