ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS
Problem 1. The rotor on a helicopter turns at an angular speed of 3.20 x 102revolutions per
minute(rpm). Express this angular speed in radians per second .
Problem 2. The pedals of a unicycle are turned so that at time ���� = 0 the wheel has angular
speed ���� = 15 ������
��and later ���� = 3.0 �� it has angular speed ���� = 9.0������
��. What is the average angular acceleration?
Problem 3. A flywheel has a constant angular deceleration of 2.0 rad/s2. (a) Find the angle(in radian)
through which the flywheel turns as it comes to rest from an angular speed of 220 rad/s . (b) Find the
time required for the flywheel to come to rest.
Problem 4. The string rotates at an angular speed of 47 rev/s or 295 rad/s , and its tip has a tangential
speed v of 54 m/s . What is the length of the rotating string?
