- A particle moves 3.0 m along a circle of radius 1.5 m. (a) Through what angle does it rotate? (b) If the particle makes this trip in 1.0 s at a constant speed, what is its angular velocity? (c) What is its acceleration?arrow_forwardFriction in an old clock causes it to lose 1 minute per hour. Assume the angular acceleration is constant, the positive z axis points out of the face of the clock, and at the beginning of the hour it was at its ideal angular speed.
