8. Rigid body rotation about a moving axis
The motion of a rigid body is a combination of translational motion of the center of mass and rotation about the center of mass.
The kinetic energy of a rotating and translating rigid body is K = 1/2 Mvcm2 + 1/2 Icm2.

These objects have the same mass. Which would acquire the largest speed at the bottom?

17. Acceleration of a yo-yo
We have translation and rotation, so we use Newton’s second law for the acceleration of the center of mass and the rotational analog of Newton’s second law for the angular acceleration about the center of mass.
Find the acceleration.

31. Work and power in rotational motion
A tangential force applied to a rotating body does work on it.
The total work done on a body by the torque is equal to the change in rotational kinetic energy of the body and the power due to a torque is P = zz.
