9.  An electric motor turns at 2500 rpm’s (rev’s per minute).  Express this angular velocity in radians per second to the nearest hundredth.

 

10.  A figure skater turns through a rotation of 12.5 rad in 4.2 s before stopping. 

a)  Find the angular velocity.

b)  Find the number of rpm’s.

 

11.  Express the angular velocity of the second hand of a watch in:

a)  revolutions per hour

b)  rad/s

 

12.  Express the angular velocity of the earth as it rotates around the sun in:

a)  rad/day

b) rad/h

 

13.  Express the angular velocity of the hour hand of a watch in:

a)  revolutions per day

b)  rad/day

 

14.  Determine the angle the second hand of  a watch rotates in 3 h

a) in radians

b) in degrees

 

 

Solutions:

1.  Convert each of the following to degree measure.

 

Solution: 

  

                                               

                                         

 

3.  Convert to degrees to the nearest tenth.

Solution:

9.  An electric motor turns at 3600 rpm’s (rev’s per minute).  Express this angular velocity in radians per second to the nearest hundredth.

Solution:

 

 

 

10.  A figure skater turns through a rotation of 12.5 rad in 4.2 s before stopping. 

a)  Find the angular velocity.

Solution:

b)  Find the number of rpm’s.

Solution:

 

11.  Express the angular velocity of the second hand of a watch in:

a)  revolutions per hour

Solution:

The second hand makes a complete revolution in one minute

Hence angular vel. = 1 rev/min x 60 min/h

                             = 60 rev/h

b)  rad/s

Solution:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14.  Determine the angle that the second hand of  a watch rotates in 3 h

a)      in radians

      b)   in degrees

Solution:
