Document Summary

Physics 8a final exam spring 2017 - c. bordel. In the absence of any information about the size of the objects, treat them as point masses. Assume that air resistance is negligible, and consider that the acceleration of gravity has magnitude g at the surface of the earth. Remember that you need to show your work in order to get full credit! A skeet (clay target) of mass m is fired at an angle from the horizontal with an initial speed v0. When it reaches the maximum height h, it is hit from below by a pellet of mass m traveling vertically upward at a speed v (fig. Problem 2 measuring rotational inertia (25 pts) The apparatus shown in figure 2 is used to measure the rotational inertia. To perform the experiment, the object is mounted to a vertical axle held in a frame with essentially frictionless bearings.
