I need to calculate the angular velocity of a 2kg mass rotating in a horizontal circle of 2m radius where 1 revolution takes 4 seconds



ω=v/r



My attempt was this : 4/360=.0111111×57.3=.636rs.

but you don't know the speed, v (it certainly isn't 4) :redface:

hint: angular velocity is radians per second :wink:
 
Yeah I'm on it. 1.57 radians per second. Thanks
