Some people are able to spin a basketball on the tip of a finger. It is often done by balancing the ball on the tip of the finger and brushing the other hand along the side of the ball to cause it to rotate. Suppose the ball begins from rest and reaches a final angular speed of 19.75 rad/s in 1.20 s. (a) Assuming the ball is subject to a constant angular acceleration, what is the magnitude of the constant angular acceleration? rad/s (b) Through how many revolutions does the ball rotate during the 1.20 s? rev

A “blink of an eye” is a time interval of about 150 ms for an average adult. The “closure” portion of the blink takes only about 55 ms. Let us model the closure of the upper eyelid as uniform angular acceleration through an angular displacement of 12.2°. A) What is the value of the angular acceleration the eyelid undergoes while closing? in rad/s^2 B) What is the tangential acceleration of the edge of the eyelid while closing if the radius of the eyeball is 1.25 cm? in m/s^2
A motorcyclist is traveling along a road and accelerates for 6.94 s to pass another cyclist. The angular acceleration of each wheel is +8.39 rad/s2, and, just after passing, the angular velocity of each is +80.6 rad/s, where the plus signs indicate counterclockwise directions. What is the angular displacement of each wheel during this time?
The WindSeeker ride at Canada's Wonderland lifts riders up to 300 feet into the air while spinning them around in a 15.4 m radius circle. The WindSeeker starts its circular motion from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 0.0174 rad/s2. It maintains that angular acceleration for 46.8 s, after which the angular speed remains constant for the rest of the ride - another 131 s. During the entire time on the WindSeeker, what angle does the rider pass through?
The dung beetle is known as one of the strongest animals for its size, often forming balls of dung up to 10 times their own mass and rolling them to locations where they can be buried and stored as food. A typical dung ball formed by the species K. nigroaeneus has a radius of 1.80 cm and is rolled by the beetle at 6.15 cm/s. HINT (a) What is the rolling ball's angular speed (in rad/s)? rad/s (b) How many full revolutions are required if the beetle rolls the ball a distance of 2.40 m? rev
The drive propeller of a ship starts from rest and accelerates at 2.55 x 10-3 rad/s² for 2.35 x 103 s. For the next 1.68 x 10³ s the propeller rotates at a constant angular speed. Then it decelerates at 2.77 x 10-3 rad/s2 until it slows (without reversing direction) to an angular speed of 2.23 rad/s. Find the total angular displacement of the propeller. Number i Units
A disk drive with a radius of 0.065 m starts rotating from rest with a constant angular acceleration. It takes 2 minutes and 50 seconds to complete ten revolutions. What is the linear (transitional) displacement of the rim of the disk drive after ten revolutions?
A dentist causes the bit of a high-speed drill to accelerate from an angular speed of 1.42 x 104 rad/s to an angular speed of 3.60 x 104 rad/s. In the process, the bit turns through 2.50 x 104 rad. Assuming a constant angular acceleration, how long would it take the bit to reach its maximum speed of 9.41 x 104 rad/s, starting from rest?

The ability of the human eye to rapidly rotate was studied using contact lenses fitted with accelerometers. While a subject, whose eyeball has radius 1.25 cm, watches a moving object her eyeball rotates through 20.0° in a time interval of 75.3 ms. A) What is the magnitude of the average angular velocity of the eye? in rad/s B) Assume that the eye starts at rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration during the first half of the interval, and then the rotation slows with a constant angular acceleration during the second half until it comes to rest. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the eye? in rad/s^2 C) What tangential acceleration would the contact-lens accelerometers record in this case? in m/s^2
