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:
A) K / K₀ = 4 b) v / v₀ = 4
Explanation:
A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy
in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)
starting point. At the position of maximum displacement
Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²
final point. In the equilibrium position
= K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ k 4 x₀² = K
(½ K x₀²) = K₀
K = 4 K₀
K / K₀ = 4
B) the speed value
½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²
v = 4 (k / m) x₀
if we call
v₀ = k / m x₀
v = 4 v₀
v / v₀ = 4
Answer:
The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
Explanation:
To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

or

where
is the mass of the asteroid,
is its distance form earth's center,
is the mass of the earth, and
is the gravitational constant.
Solving for
we get:

putting in numerical values gives


in kilometers this is

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
