Two identical balls $P$ and $Q$ moving in the $x-y$ plane collide at the origin $(x=0,y=0)$ of the coordinate system. Their velocity components just before the moment of impact were, for ball $P$, $v_x=6\ m/s$, $v_y=0$; for ball $Q$, $v_x=-5\ m/s$, $v_y=2\ m/s$. As a result of the collision, the ball $P$ comes to rest. The velocity components of the ball $Q$ just after collision will be

Four hollow spheres, each with a mass of $1\, kg$ and a radius $R = 10\,cm$, are connected with massless rods to form a square with side of length $L = 50\, cm$, In case $-1$, the masses rotate about an axis that bisects two sides of the square. In case $-2$, the masses rotate about an axis that passes through the diagonal of the square, as shown in the figure. Compute the ratio of the moments of inertia $I_1/I_2$, for the two cases
