A Lazy Susan (turning tabletop) has radius 0.750 m.  An apple is placed at the edge of the turning table. A child turns the tabletop from rest to an angular speed of 5.00 rev/min in 3.00 s.  What is the value of the apple’s centripetal acceleration at the 3.00 second in m/s2? Enter units as “m/s^2”

A girl of 50.0-kg skating at 10 m/s crashes into another girl of mass 35.0-kg moving in the same direction at 8.0 m/s.  Assuming the impact lasts 0.15 s, after which they move together, how fast (in units of m/s)  are they moving immediately after crashing?  

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (3.0, 0.0) m, 3.0 kg at (0.0, {y1}) m, 4.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m and a fourth object of 8.0 kg at (2.0, {y2}) m.  Find the y coordinate (in m) of center of gravity for this configuration.

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at ({x1}, 0.0) m, 3.0 kg at (0.0, 5.0) m, 4.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m and a fourth object of 8.0 kg at ({x2}, 6.0) m.  Find the x coordinate (in m) of center of gravity for this configuration.
