Angular kinematics Definition and 20 Threads

to clarify , my purpose isn't to find a solution to my home work , I already did the home work and my thread is more a request of justification or at least a clarification of the forces at play. I need explanation on the general topic not the solution to my question, I am mentioning the question...

a) We use the definition of linear speed in terms of angular speed: v = r*omega omega_f = v/r = (1.25 m/s)/(0.025 m) = 50 rad/s omega_0 = v/r = (1.25 m/s)/(0.025 m) = 21.55 rad/s b) We use the definition of linear speed: v = d/t d = vt = (1.25m/s)(74 min)(60 s/1 min) = 5.55 km c) We use the...

A solid balsa cube of side length L = 16.0” and mass M = 8.60 kg is at rest on a horizontal table top. It is constrained to rotate about a fixed and frictionless axis, AB, along one edge of the cube. A bullet of mass m = 50.0 g is fired with speed v at the other side of the cube, at height a =...

So, I'm working on my semester finals for my high school physics class, and I've run across a problem that has me stumped. I've included the pertinent material below. Homework Statement A rocket with a mass of 2kg and traveling at 14,008.34 meters/second loses 10% of its velocity as finishes...

Question The wheel of a car has radius 0.2m and initially rotates at 120 rpm. In the next minute it makes 90 revolutions What is the cars angular acceleration?Attempt So I tried to get the final angular velocity and couldn't and have tried multiple times with the angular kinematics equations...

Homework Statement I'm reviewing a chapter relating linear and angular kinematics, and I came across this equation.. why does it work and where does it come from? I can't seem to find anything in the textbook explaining it. Homework Equations a = sqrt( (tangential acceleration)2 +...

A swing bridge has to be turned through a right angle in 120 seconds. The first 50.4 seconds is a period of uniform angular acceleration ; the subsequent 34.8 seconds is a period of uniform angular velocity and the third period of 34.8 seconds is a period of uniform angular retardation. Input...
