Honors Next Topic Rotational Motion

By Thursday, Read this

and try these:

Rotational problems

Your are 3 m from the center of a carousel. The carousel turns half a turn, i.e. pi radians. How far did you move?

The carousel makes one complete rotation in 10 seconds, how far did you move in those ten seconds?

How fast were you going in m/s? This is your tangential velocity.

How many radians did it turn in those ten seconds? [ answer is 2 pi] How many radians did it turn in one second?

What was your angular speed (its called omega) in radians / second?

Was your tangential speed (m/s) equal to omega times 3 m?
