Keratinocytes are the most common cells in the skins outer layer. As these approximately circular cells migrate across a wound during the healing process, they roll in a way that reduces the frictional forces impeding their motion. (a) Given a cell body diameter of 1.00 105 m (10 m), what minimum angular speed would be required to produce the observed linear speed of 1.67 107 m/s (10 m/min)? (b) How many complete revolutions would be required for the cell to roll a distance of 5.00 103 m? (Because of slipping as the cells roll, averages of observed angular speeds and the number of complete revolutions are about three times these minimum values.)
In a tape recorder, the tape is pulled past the read-write heads at a constant speed by the drive mechanism. Consider the reel from which the tape is pulled: As the tape is pulled off, the radius of the roll of remaining tape decreases, (a) How does the torque on the reel change with time? (b) If the tape mechanism is suddenly turned on so that the tape is quickly pulled with a large force, is the tape more likely to break when pulled from a nearly full reel or from a nearly empty reel?
Human centrifuges are used to train military pilots and astronauts in preparation for high-g maneuvers. A trained, fit person wearing a g-suit can withstand accelerations up to about 9g (88.2 m/s2) without losing consciousness, (a) If a human centrifuge has a radius of 4.50 m, what angular speed results in a centripetal acceleration of 9g? (b) What linear speed would a person in the centrifuge have at this acceleration?
A system of point particles is rotating about a fixed axis at 4 rev/s. The particles are fixed with respect to each other.

(b) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the system?
Suppose a child walks from the outer edge of a rotating merry-go-round to the inside. Does the angular velocity of the merry-go-round increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain your answer. Assume the merry-go-round is spinning without friction.
Olympic ice skaters are able to spin at about 5 rev/s. (a) What is their angular velocity in radians per second? (b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the skater's nose if it is 0.120 m from the axis of rotation? (c) An exceptional skater named Dick Button was able to spin much faster in the 1950s than anyone since—at about 9 rev/s. What was the centripetal acceleration of the tip of his nose, assuming it is at 0.120 m radius? (d) Comment on the magnitudes of the accelerations found. It is reputed that Button ruptured small blood vessels during his spins.

use two points: one taken at near the beginning of its descent,“initial”, and one just prior to the hanging mass reaching its lowest point, “final”, to determine themoment of inertia of the disk/plate. Note the position of the hanging mass is yh , and its velocity is vh . The moment of inertia isI forwhatever is rotating.1. Isolate the moment of inertia, algebraically from the above equation as all other variables have beenmeasured. Solve for the variable in terms of the others because there is no data so only working with variables.
A Ferris wheel has radius of 5.0 m and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670 N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is the apparent weight (that is, the normal force in Newtons exerted on her by the bench) of the person as she passes through the highest point of her motion? (Don't forget about sigfigs) I understand how to calculate the answer but cannot determine the correct number of sig figs for the final answer.

You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 93.0 kg, has a 0.370-m radius, and is turning at 71.0 rpm, and you press a steel axe against it with a radial force of 21.0 N. A.)Assuming the kinetic coefficient of friction between steel and stone is 0.40, calculate the angular acceleration (in rad/s2) of the grindstone. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) B.)How many turns (in rev) will the stone make before coming to rest?
