Optimal foraging rules say foraging behavior should:

A string is wound around a piece of hollow cylindrical pipe. The free end of the string is held while the pipe is released, allowing the pipe to fall while unwinding the string, much like a yoyo. The string unwinds without slipping. What would be the translational acceleration of the pipe?

A baseball (solid sphere) is rolling without slipping along the level ground with a translational speed of 10.0 m/s. It then starts rolling without slipping up a hill, stopping after having traveled 25.0 m along the surface of the hill. What angle does the hill make with the horizontal?

A merry-go-round with a mass of 150 kg is coasting at 3.0 rad/s. Think of the merry-go-round as a solid cylinder with a radius is 3.0 m. A 45kg kid is riding the merry-go-round, standing on its rim. Just after the kid steps radially off the merry-go-round, what is the angular velocity?

A turntable rotating at 78.0 rpm slows to 33.33 rpm in 5.0 revolutions. If the acceleration is constant, the time it takes for the angular speed to change is

Three identical cylindrical disks have a common axis.  Initially one of the disks is spinning.  When the three disks are brought into contact, they stick together.  Which of the following is/are true? (Choose all that are correct)
