Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the angular velocity of a wheel that makes 10 revolutions in 5 seconds?
Correct Answer: 4π rad/s
  • Step 1: Understand that one complete revolution of a wheel is equal to 2π radians.
  • Step 2: Calculate the total angle in radians for 10 revolutions. This is done by multiplying the number of revolutions (10) by the radians per revolution (2π). So, 10 * 2π = 20π radians.
  • Step 3: Identify the time taken for these revolutions, which is given as 5 seconds.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for angular velocity, which is ω = θ/t, where θ is the total angle in radians and t is the time in seconds.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: ω = (20π radians) / (5 seconds).
  • Step 6: Simplify the calculation: 20π / 5 = 4π radians per second.
