angular velocity (ω)(rad/s) = linear velocity (v)(m/s) / radius (r)(m/rad)
in uniform circular motion, acceleration (a) = v2/r
Does that help you solve it?
Fasiha A.
asked 04/01/20A child sits 2 m from the center of a merry-go-round that is rotating at a constant
25rpm.
What is the child’s angular velocity in radians/sec?
What is the acceleration of the child?
If the child has a mass of 25 kg, what is the minimum force needed to keep
the child from flying off of the merry-go-round?
What is the child’s linear velocity?
How does the child’s angular velocity change if they move to a position 1 m
from the center?
angular velocity (ω)(rad/s) = linear velocity (v)(m/s) / radius (r)(m/rad)
in uniform circular motion, acceleration (a) = v2/r
