Four Ts are made from two identical rods of equal mass

and length. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the
moments of inertia Ia to Id for rotation about the dotted line.

1. Ic > Ib > Id > Ia

2. Ic = Id > Ia = Ib
3. Ia = Ib > Ic = Id
4. Ia > Id > Ib > Ic
5. Ia > Ib > Id > Ic

A student holds a meter stick straight out with one or

more masses dangling from it. Rank in order, from
most difficult to least difficult, how hard it will be for
the student to keep the meter stick from rotating.

1. c > d > b > a

2. b = c = d > a
3. c > b > d > a
4. b > d > c > a
5. c > d > a = b

Two buckets spin around in a

horizontal circle on frictionless
bearings. Suddenly, it starts to
rain. As a result,
1. The buckets slow down because the angular momentum
of the bucket + rain system is conserved.
2. The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular
velocity because the rain is falling vertically while the
buckets move in a horizontal plane.
3. The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular
velocity because the total mechanical energy of the
bucket + rain system is conserved.
4. The buckets speed up because the potential energy of
the rain is transformed into kinetic energy.
5. None of the above.
