| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\omega_1 = 8\,\text{rev/s}\times 2\pi\,\text{rad/rev} = 16\pi\,\text{rad/s}\] | Convert the first angular speed to radians per second using \(2\pi\,\text{rad}=1\,\text{rev}\). |
| 2 | \[\omega_2 = 6\,\text{rev/s}\times 2\pi\,\text{rad/rev} = 12\pi\,\text{rad/s}\] | Convert the second angular speed to radians per second in the same way. |
| 3 | \[v_1 = r_1\,\omega_1 = 0.60\,\text{m}\times 16\pi = 9.6\pi\,\text{m/s}\] | Use \(v = r\omega\) to find the linear speed for the \(0.60\,\text{m}\) sling. |
| 4 | \[v_2 = r_2\,\omega_2 = 0.90\,\text{m}\times 12\pi = 10.8\pi\,\text{m/s}\] | Apply the same formula for the \(0.90\,\text{m}\) sling. |
| 5 | \[\boxed{v_2 > v_1}\] | Since \(10.8\pi>9.6\pi\), the \(6\,\text{rev/s}\) case gives the greater linear speed. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[a_{c1}=r_1\,\omega_1^2\] | Centripetal acceleration is \(a_c = r\omega^2\). |
| 2 | \[a_{c1}=0.60\,(16\pi)^2 = 0.60\times256\pi^2 = 153.6\pi^2\,\text{m/s}^2\] | Substitute \(r_1=0.60\,\text{m}\) and \(\omega_1=16\pi\,\text{rad/s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{a_{c1}\approx1.5\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}^2}\] | Evaluate \(\pi^2\approx9.87\) to obtain a numerical value. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[a_{c2}=r_2\,\omega_2^2\] | Use the same centripetal acceleration formula. |
| 2 | \[a_{c2}=0.90\,(12\pi)^2 = 0.90\times144\pi^2 = 129.6\pi^2\,\text{m/s}^2\] | Insert \(r_2=0.90\,\text{m}\) and \(\omega_2=12\pi\,\text{rad/s}\). |
| 3 | \[\boxed{a_{c2}\approx1.3\times10^{3}\,\text{m/s}^2}\] | Calculate numerically to compare with part (b). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A force of 17 N is applied to the end of a 0.63-m long torque wrench at an angle 45° from a line joining the pivot point to the handle. What is the magnitude of the torque about the pivot point produced by this force?
A point on the edge of a disk rotates around the center of the disk with an initial angular velocity of 3 rad/s clockwise. The graph shows the point’s angular acceleration as a function of time. The positive direction is considered to be counterclockwise. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible.
An old record player could bring a disk up to its \(45\) RPM speed in less than a second. If the same size disk can also be brought up to a speed of \(75\) RPM in about the same amount of time on another player. Compare the torques exerted by each record player.
The diagram above shows a top view of a child of mass \(M\) on a circular platform of mass \(2M\) that is rotating counterclockwise. Assume the platform rotates without friction. Which of the following describes an action by the child that will increase the angular speed of the platform-child system and gives the correct reason why?
A planet of constant mass orbits the sun in an elliptical orbit. Neglecting any friction effects, what happens to the planet’s rotational kinetic energy about the sun’s center?

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]
