    Calculating Angular Acceleration and Torque in a Rotating Motor System

    Homework Statement The rotating subunits forms an approximately cylindrical axel with a diameter of 4 nm and total mass of 80,000 Daltons. The motor takes three steps per revolution with each step taking 0.067 s. We can model the rotating subunits as a rotating cylinder and use the properties...

    How Do Rollercoasters Use Circular Motion and Acceleration?

    Homework Statement A rollercoaster consists of a 45 degree slope that is 100 m long followed by two loops which have radii of 40 m and 20 m respectively. If the rollercoaster accelerates down the initial slope due to gravity, determine: a. The acceleration of the rollercoaster down the 45...
