A puck moves on a horizontal air table. It is attached to a string that gradually winds itself up around a round peg in the center of the table. This shortens the string, so the puck gradually spirals in towards the center. What happens to the magnitude of the puck's angular momentum?

Three joggers are running along straight lines as follows: Jogger A, with a mass of 55.2 kg, is traveling along the line y = 6.00 m at 3.45 m/s in the positive x-direction. Jogger B, with a mass of 62.4 kg, is traveling at 4.23 m/s along the line x = 3.00 m in the positive y-direction. Jogger C, with a mass of 72.1 kg, is traveling at 4.75 m/s along the line x = -5.00 m in the negative y-direction. What is the total counterclockwise angular momentum of the three joggers about the origin?

A mechanic is examining the wheel of a bicycle to adjust the brake. With the bicycle off the ground, he manually rotates the wheel until it reaches an angular speed of 12.0 rad/s and then allows it to coast to a stop. If the wheel has a moment of inertia of 0.100 kg∙m2, and the wheel slows to a stop in 160 s, what is the magnitude of the retarding torque?

A solid wood door, 90.0 cm wide by 2.00 m tall has a mass of 35.0 kg. It is ajar and at rest. A ball with a mass of 500 g is thrown perpendicular to the door with a speed of 20.0 m/s and hits the door 60.0 cm from the hinged side. The ball rebounds with a speed of 16.0 m/s along the same line. How much energy is lost in the process?

A mass of 355 g hangs from one end of a string that goes over a pulley with a moment of inertia of 0.0125 kg∙m2 and a radius of 15.0 cm. A mass of 680 g hangs from the other end. When the masses are released, the larger mass accelerates downward, the lighter mass accelerates upward, and the pulley turns without the string slipping on the pulley. What is the tension in the string on the side of the 355-g mass?

A puck moves on a horizontal air table. It is attached to a string that passes through a hole in the center of the table. As the puck rotates about the hole, the string is pulled downward very slowly and shortens the radius of rotation, so the puck gradually spirals in towards the center. What happens to the puck's angular speed?

In a model airplane, the propeller is a significant part of the total mass. A model airplane is flying on a level path, with its propeller rotating clockwise as seen facing the airplane. At a preset time, a signal causes the plane to lower its tail flaps and it goes into a nose-down attitude. When this happens, the nose of the plane also swings towards the right. Explain why this happens.
