Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
As we know that by parallel axis theorem we will have

Part a)
here we know that for a stick the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

now if we need to find the inertia from its end then we will have



Part b)
here we know that for a cube the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

now if we need to find the inertia about an axis passing through its edge



Answer
given,
mass of glider = 0.23 Kg
spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m
spring stretched to 0.130 m
The springs potential energy =


U = 0.038 J
at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .


v² = 0.3304
v = 0.575 m/s
displacement of the glider
using conservation of energy



x = 0.678 m
you can collect water and shine a light though it and record your finings
