1) A golfer is rotating the golf club at a rate of 1800 deg/s
when the club makes contact with the ball. If the golf club head is
located 0.95 m from the axis of rotation, what is the linear
velocity of the golf club head?
2) Starting from rest, Carl Lewis accelerates horizontally at
the average rate of 1.8 m/s2. If he accelerates
for 5 seconds, how fast is he running at the end of this
period?
3) If Carl Lewis (from problem #2) has a mass of 105 kg, what is
the net horizontal force acting on him during this period?
4) "Moose" Malone, world champion hammer thrower, rotates at a
rate of 15.2 radians/sec just prior to releasing the hammer.
If the hammer (i.e., the steel mass on the end of the cable) is
located 1.7 meters away from the axis of rotation, what is the
radial acceleration experienced by the hammer?
5) A bicycle wheel is rolling forward, which has a radius of 44
cm. The wheel undergoes 45 revolutions. What was the total linear
distance of the bicycle? [one revolution = 360 degrees]
