1. Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer (an instrument for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle) on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it contains gears to count the number of wheel revolutions-it then calculates the distance traveled. If the wheel has a 1.40 m diameter and goes through 220000 rotations, how many kilometers should the odometer read? Hint: What is the rotational angle covered in 220000 rotations? How is this angle related to the arc- length? Enter to 3 significant figures Answer: km

June started winding up her arm holding a baseball, moving it around her shoulder in a circle, to get ready to throw. June’s arm is 0.5 m long and moves at an angular velocity of 2 rad/s. How much time will 10 revolutions take? What is the velocity of the baseball when she let go of it?
Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it contains gears to count the number of wheel revolutions—it then calculates the distance traveled. If the wheel has a 1.01 m diameter and goes through 140,000 rotations, how many kilometers should the odometer read? km
16. FHS science department has centrifuges that operate at 3400 rpm. A particle at the bottom of a test tube in this centrifuge is 10 cm away from the axis of rotation. From the reference frame of the test tube the particles in the tube experience a centrifugal force equal to some multiple of their weight (i.e. a certain number of “g”s). Determine the centrifugal force of these centrifuges in g’s.
