You are listening to the FM radio in your car. As you come to a stop at a traffic light, you notice that the radio signal is fuzzy. By pulling up a short distance, you can make the reception clear again. In this problem, we work through a simple model of what is happening. Our model is that the radio waves are taking two paths to your radio antenna: the direct route from the transmitter an indirect route via reflection off a building

Which are examples of projectile motion? choose all that apply a. a soccer ball rolling across the ground in the northeast direction b. a car turning a corner, so it is heading south c. a javelin flying through the air d. a tennis ball lobbed over the net

Aperson stands on a platform, initially at rest, that can rotate freely without friction. the moment of inertia of the person plus the platform is ip. the person holds a spinning bicycle wheel with its axis horizontal. the wheel has moment of inertia iw and angular velocity ωw. take the ωw direction counterclockwise when viewed from above. part a what will be the angular velocity ωp of the platform if the person moves the axis of the wheel so that it points vertically upward?

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.
