a. A child of mass 30 kg slides from rest down a wooden pole by a distance of
3.0 m. Calculate the average force of friction acting on the child if her speed is
2.0 ms-1 when she hits the ground. Take g=10 ms-2
b. The average angular acceleration of a stone lodged in a rotating car wheel is
100 rads-2. What will the stone’s final angular speed be after 3.0 s, if it starts
from rest? Also calculate its angular displacement during this time.
c. A star having rotational inertia of 10 x1048 kgm2 is rotating at an angular speed
of 2.0 revolutions per month about its axis. The only force on it is the force of
gravitation. When its nuclear fuel is exhausted, it shrinks to a neutron star
having rotational inertia of 6.0 x1048 kgm2 Determine the angular speed
of the neutron star in revolutions per month.
