    Rotational motion: Find angular displacement when rotation speed is changing

    Homework Statement A torque acts on a wheel rotating at 19.8 rad/s and increases its angular speed to 23.5 rad/s in 11.2 s. Find the angle through which the wheel turns during this time. Homework Equations omega = theta/time The Attempt at a Solution 23.5 - 19.8/11.2 = .33rad/s/s --- this is...

    Physics help -- pushing a refrigerator across a wooden floor

    I did attempt the problem, but I' now more confused than ever. Please help me. Joe is moving his refrigerator to take to college and he begins by pushing it across the wooden kitchen floor. On a flat surface like the floor, how do you calculate how hard he needs to push? Draw a free body...
