A uniform, horizontal bar of length L = [L] m and mass [m1] kg is free to rotate about a vertical axis passing through its center. Two point spheres, each with a mass of [m2] kg, are attached to the two ends of the bar. Determine the moment of inertia of the system about the vertical rotation axis in kg·m².

A car driver collides with an airbag during a crash. The driver’s body, with a total mass of [m] kg, is moving at an initial speed of [v] m/s when it comes into contact with the airbag. The airbag brings the driver to rest over the time interval from 0 to t2. The figure shows the plot of the force magnitude exerted on the driver by the airbag as a function of time. t2 =[t2] × 10-2 s. Determine the maximum force Fmax in newtons (N).

Box A, moving at an initial velocity of vA = [vA] m/s, collides with box B, which is initially at rest. The masses of the boxes are mA = [mA] kg and mB = [mB] kg. The collision is completely inelastic so the boxes stick together. Determine the kinetic energy of the system immediately after the collision (in joules).
