Question

1)Find the angular speed of a CD must have to give a linear speed of 1.25m/s at the point the laser beem shines on the disk when it is 2.5cm from it's center.

2)a game show has contestants spin a wheel when it is their turn. One contestant gives the wheel an initial angular speed of 3.40 rad/s. It then rotates through one-and-one-quarter revolutions and comes to rest on the BANKRUPT space. Find the angular acceleration of the whee, assuming it to be constant (in rad/s^2).

3)How many seconds does it take for the wheel in question 2 to come to rest?

4)The lunar rover had a mass of 225 kg. What was its weight in Newtons on the Moon? (Mass of the moon is 7.35x10^22kg and its radius is 1.74 x 10^6)

Explanation / Answer

linear speed v = 1.25 m/s

raduis , r = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

angular speed , w = v/r = 1.25/0.025 = 50 rad/s
-------------------------
2)

from the relation

w2-^2 -w1^2 = 2aS

S = 1.25 rev = 1.25*2pi rad = 7.85 rad

so

0^2 - 3.40^2 = 2a(7.85)

angular acceleration

a = - 0.736 rad/s^2
-------------------
3)

from

w2 = w1 + at

0 = 3.40 +(-0.736) t

time , t = 4.617 sec

----------------------------
4)
weight = mg = m.GM/r^2 = 225*6.67x10^-11*7.35x10^22/(1.74x10^6)^2 = 364.33 N
