35 point question. answer at least 3 correctly. please include equations and how you did it

9. (B) ¼ Mv²

10. (A) √(3gL)

11. 20 N

12. 5 m/s²

Explanation:

9. The rotational kinetic energy is:

RE = ½ Iω²

RE = ½ (½ MR²) (v/R)²

RE = ¼ Mv²

10. Energy is conserved.

Initial potential energy = rotational energy

mgh = ½ Iω²

Mg(L/2) = ½ (⅓ ML²) ω²

g(L/2) = ½ (⅓ L²) ω²

gL = ⅓ L² ω²

g = ⅓ L ω²

ω² = 3g / L

ω = √(3g / L)

The velocity of the top end is:

v = ωL

v = √(3gL)

11. Sum of torques about the hinge:

∑τ = Iα

-(Mg) (L/2) + (T) (r) = 0

T = MgL / (2r)

T = (3.00 kg) (10 m/s²) (1.60 m) / (2 × 1.20 m)

T = 20 N

12. Sum of forces on the block in the -y direction:

∑F = ma

mg − T = ma

Sum of torques on the pulley:

∑τ = Iα

TR = (½ MR²) (a / R)

T = ½ Ma

Substitute:

mg − ½ Ma = ma

mg = (m + ½ M) a

a = mg / (m + ½ M)

Plug in values:

a = (3.0 kg) (10 m/s²) / (3.0 kg + ½ (6.0 kg))

a = 5 m/s²

probably not if net force is zero

i am pretty sure it is c because when people are closer together, they cannot move as freely. picture being in a mostly full elevator, for instance. the people are right next to you, and you can barely move.
