1. A particle moves in a circle of radius 90 m with a constant speed of 25 m/s.
a) What is its angular velocity about the center of the circle?
b) How many revolutions does it make in 30 s?
Ans: ω=0.277 rad/s; # of revolutions=1.32
2. A wheel starts from rest with constant angular acceleration of 2.6 rad/s². After 6 s:
a) What is its angular velocity?
b) Through what angle has the wheel turned?
c) How many revolutions had it made?
d) What is the speed and tangential acceleration of a point 0.3 m from the axis of
rotation?
Ans: ω=15.6 rad/s; Δθ=46.8 rad; # of rev.=7.45; v=4.68 m/s; at=0.78 m/s²
3. When a turntable rotating at 33.33 rev/min is shut off, it comes to rest in 26 s. Assuming
constant angular acceleration, find:
a) the angular acceleration;
b) the number of revolutions it makes before stopping.
Ans: α= -0.134 rad/s²; Δθ= 45.45 rad; # of rev. = 7.23
