Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied.

The 20@kg wheel has a radius of gyration about its center g of kg = 300 mm. when it is subjected to a couple moment of m = 50 n # m, it rolls without slipping. determine the angular velocity of the wheel after its mass center g has traveled through a distance of sg = 20 m, starting from rest.

While goofing off at the ice skating rink, a student takes off her shoes and places each of them on the ice. her friend, a hockey player, then shoots a hockey puck at each shoe. the first puck immediately comes to rest after it collides with the left shoe. the second puck rebounds after it collides with the right shoe. if each hockey puck has the same incoming speed, which shoe has greater speed after the collision? the right shoe. both shoes have the same speed. the left shoe.
