Spring masses - moment of inertia

Team roles: Director: Overall performance of the team. Start the work (project discussion) and propose an initial outline. Identify givens, unknowns, and target. Investigator:Starting with an outline, propose a setup, a framework within which the problem will be solved, including a sketch (axes, origin, labels) and generates one equation for every unknown in the Director's plan. Executive: Solves the Investigator's equaitons for the target variable. "Does the math". Skeptic (possibly 2 m...

rotational kinetic energy experiment

You are an insurance investigator trying to figure out if a driver making an insurance claim was exceeding the speed limit before a collision. Driver A has a car of mass mA, which slammed into Car B (mass mB) which was at rest at a stop sign before the collision. The two cars locked their bumpers during the collision. From the damage, you estimate that the collision speed was v_hit. You can tell from marks at the scene of the accident that car A skidded with locked brakes a distance L before the...
