A carnival carousel accelerates nonuniformly from rest, moving through an angle of 8.60 rad in 6.00 s. If its turning at 3.30 rad/s at that time, find (a) its average angular speed, and (b) average angular acceleration during that time interval. (See Section 7.1.)
One method of pitching a softball is called the wind-mill delivery method, in which the pitchers arm rotates through approximately 360 in a vertical plane before the 198-gram ball is released at the lowest point of the circular motion. An experienced pitcher can throw a ball with a speed of 98.0 mi/h. Assume the angular acceleration is uniform throughout the pitching motion and take the distance between the softball and the shoulder joint to be 74.2 cm. (a) Determine the angular speed of the arm in rev/s at the instant of release, (b) Find the value of the angular acceleration in rev/s2 and the radial and tangential acceleration of the ball just before it is released, (c) Determine the force exerted on the ball by the pitchers hand (both radial and tangential components) just before it is released.

The dung beetle is known as one of the strongest animals for its size, often forming balls of dung up to 10 times their own mass and rolling them to locations where they can be buried and stored as food. A typical dung ball formed by the species K. nigroaeneus has a radius of 2.00 cm and is rolled by the beetle at 6.25 cm/s. (a) What is the rolling balls angular speed? (b) How many full rotations are required if the beetle rolls the ball a distance of 1.00 m?
Integrated Concepts An ultracentrifuge accelerates from rest to 100,000 rpm in 2.00 min. (a) What is its angular acceleration in rad/s2? (b) What is the tangential acceleration of a point 9.50 cm from the axis of rotation? (c) What is the radial acceleration in m/s2 and multiples of g of this point at full rpm?
In circular motion, a tangential acceleration can change the magnitude of the velocity but not its direction. Explain your answer.
The propeller of a World War Il fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second if it spins at 1200 rev/min? (b) What is the linear speed of its tip at this angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac? (c) What is the centripetal acceleration of the propeller tip under these conditions? Calculate it in meters per second squared and convert to multiples of g.

As a compact disc (CD) spins clockwise as seen from above,information is read from it, starting with the innermost ring andmoving outward. When the information is being read from theinnermost ring, the CDs angular speed is 0 = 52.4 rad /s. TheCD slows down so that when information is read from the outermost ring, = 20.9 rad /s. It takes 74 min 33 s to read themusic from a particular CD. Find the constant angular acceleration of the CD.
