| \[0 = v_i^2 + 2a\Delta x\] | Apply the kinematic relation linking initial speed \(v_i\), final speed \(v_x = 0\), constant acceleration \(a = -2.00\,\text{m/s}^2\), and stopping distance \(\Delta x\). |
| \[\Delta x = \frac{v_i^2}{-2a}\] | Rearrange algebraically to isolate \(\Delta x\). |
| \[\Delta x = \frac{(30.0\,\text{m/s})^2}{2(2.00\,\text{m/s}^2)} = 225\,\text{m}\] | Substitute \(v_i = 30.0\,\text{m/s}\) and the magnitude of \(a = 2.00\,\text{m/s}^2\) to obtain the stopping distance. |
| \[C = 2\pi r\] | The linear distance covered in one tire revolution equals the circumference \(C\) where \(r = 0.300\,\text{m}\). |
| \[C = 2\pi(0.300\,\text{m}) = 0.600\pi\,\text{m}\] | Calculate the numerical value of the circumference. |
| \[N = \frac{\Delta x}{C}\] | The number of revolutions \(N\) is the ratio of total stopping distance to the circumference. |
| \[N = \frac{225\,\text{m}}{0.600\pi\,\text{m}}\] | Substitute \(\Delta x = 225\,\text{m}\) and \(C = 0.600\pi\,\text{m}\). |
| \[\boxed{N \approx 119\] | Evaluate to find approximately \(119\) tire revolutions before the car stops. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."

A disk is initially rotating counterclockwise around a fixed axis with angular speed \( \omega_0 \). At time \( t = 0 \), the two forces shown in the figure above are exerted on the disk. If counterclockwise is positive, which of the following could show the angular velocity of the disk as a function of time?
When a fan is turned off, its angular speed decreases from \( 10 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) to \( 6.3 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) in \( 5.0 \) \( \text{s} \). What is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the fan?
A discus is held at the end of an arm that starts at rest. The average angular acceleration of [katex]54 \, \text{rad/s}^2 [/katex] lasts for 0.25 s. The path is circular and has radius 1.1 m.
Note: A discuss is a heavy, flattened circular object for throwing.
A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15,000 rpm in 240 s. Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?
A disk increases from 2 complete revolutions in 2 seconds to 5 complete revolutions in 2 seconds. What is its average angular acceleration?
\(119 \text{ revolutions}\)

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
