Concept explainers
Your roommate is working on his bicycle and has the bike up side down. He spins the 60-cm-diameter wheel, and you notice that a pebble stuck in the tread goes by three times every second. What are the pebble’s speed and acceleration?

- A particle moves 3.0 m along a circle of radius 1.5 m. (a) Through what angle does it rotate? (b) If the particle makes this trip in 1.0 s at a constant speed, what is its angular velocity? (c) What is its acceleration?arrow_forwardA ceiling fan with 89-cm-diameter blades is turning at 60 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 25 s after being turned off. What is the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off? Through how many revolutions does the fan turn while stopping?arrow_forwardA 5 kg disk with a radius of 20 cm is spinning at 20 rpm. A clump of clay is dropped on the edge of the disk and quickly sticks to the surface. What mass of clay is needed to reduce the angular speed to 15 rpm? Treat the clay as a point mass.arrow_forward
- Two bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 1.2 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 20 rpm. What is Crunchy's speed, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Buzz Crunchyarrow_forwardA turntable rotates at 45 rev/min. Calculate the angular velocity of the turntable. A particle on the turntable is located 0.13 m from the center of the rotating turntable. What is the speed of the particle? The particle on the turntable has a mass of 3 g. Calculate the force of friction which keeps it from sliding off.arrow_forwardA typical road bike wheel has a diameter of 70 cm including the tire. In a time trial, when a cyclist is racing along at 12 m/s:a. How fast is a point at the top of the tire moving?b. How fast, in rpm, are the wheels spinning?arrow_forward
- Two bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk= 0.60. What is Buzz's speed, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Buzz Crunchyarrow_forwardA 210 g , 34.0-cm-diameter turntable rotates on frictionless bearings at 65.0 rpm . A 21.0 g block sits at the center of the turntable. A compressed spring shoots the block radically outward along a frictionless groove in the surface of the turntable. What is the turntable's rotation angular velocity when the block reaches the outer edge?arrow_forwardA compact disk or DVD rotates at a fairly high velocity while a laser head bounces light off the surface of the disk and “reads” the information encoded in microscopic pits on the disk. Suppose a CD with a radius of 6.0 cm spins at 7200 rpm. What is the CD’s angular velocity w in rad/s? How much time is required for the disk to rotate through 90 degree? If the CD starts from rest and reaches full speed in 4.0 s, what is its average angular acceleration? Suppose a tardigrade hitches a ride on the outer edge of the CD. What tangential velocity does the tardigrade expierence?arrow_forward
- A disk of radius 4.00 m spins with an angular speed of 90.0 degrees/second. What is the speed of the ladybug sitting halfway, in m/s?arrow_forwardA 20 cm diameter circular saw blade spins at 3900 rpm. How fast would you have to push a straight hand saw to have the teeth move through the wood at the same rate as the circular saw teeth?arrow_forwardA 330 N sphere 0.20 m in radius rolls, without slipping 6.0m down a ramp that is inclined at 37 degrees with the horizontal. What is the angular speed of the sphere at the bottom of the hill if it starts from rest?arrow_forward
