The wheel on an upside down bike moves through 15 rad in 5 seconds. What is the wheel's angualr acceleration if its initial angular speed is 2.4 rad/s. Answer in units of rad/s^2 I used the equation ω(final) = ω(initial)+αt and solved for α however, I did not get a correct answer. Can anyone...

I am interested in how impulse turbines work. Supposing a mass of water (in kilograms), m, is expelled by a jet at a given velocity (in meters per second), v, its momentum (in Newton-seconds), p, is the product of these quantities: p = mv. Also, a paddlewheel’s angular momentum (in...

Does the theory of relativity include angular motion? Say we have one body synchronously orbiting a motionless body. It can also be viewed as two motionless bodies and one is spinning while the other is not. (i.e. if you were on the moon staring at earth, you would not witness orbital...
