Where on the Earth's surface is the centrifugal acceleration due to its rotation the least? Why?
Starting from rest, a DVD steadily accelerates to 560 rpm in 1.0s, rotates at this angular speed for 3.0s, then steadily decelerates to a halt in 2.0s. How many revolutions does it make?
At the 10 second mark, what is the angular speed (in degrees per second)?
Is it just 220 degrees?

- A circular space station with a radius of 72 m has just been completed. In order to provide astronauts with the feeling of gravity, the space station will be set spinning about its central axis. To do this, solid fuel rockets have been attached around the perimeter of this station to start it spinning. These rockets fizzle out quickly, and produce a non-uniform angular acceleration of =a0e−bt Where a0 = 0.0424 rad/s2 and b = 0.153 s-1. The station is at rest (is not spinning) when the rockets are ignited at t = 0 s. What is the tangential speed of the outer edge of the station about the center of the station at t = 6.27 s? Through what angle has the station rotated in that time? Once the rockets are done burning, how long does it take the station to complete one revolution?arrow_forwardTwo identical discs are spinning on a vertical rod, at different rotation rates.
