How do you find angular velocity experimentally?

AI Thread Summary
To find angular velocity experimentally using a boomerang, recording the flight with a video camera can be helpful, although the rapid movement may complicate this method. Multiple cameras could provide a better view of the rotation throughout the flight path. However, practical limitations in a classroom setting may restrict the feasibility of recording. An alternative approach could involve using a simpler setup or tools that allow for easier measurement of angular velocity. Ultimately, the experiment needs to be manageable for the entire class within the available time.

if I were to throw a boomerang in an experiment, how would i find the angular velocity? How would i be able to check that my angular velocity is correct?

Get a video camera and record it to see how fast it rotates? It might be hard because the boomerang moves away from you very quickly, so perhaps have multiple cameras recording along the entire flight path.
 
i don't think that would work because i have to devise a boomerang experiment to be done by the rest of the class. so I wouldn't have the time in class to have everyone record the boomerang flight.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
