A particular DVD player has an operational angular velocity of 2500 rpm. We model thespinning DVD as a disk (I = 0.5 mr^2) with radius r = 0.1m, m = 40 g. A) What is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge of the DVD when it is spinningat operational speed? What is the tangential velocity of this point? B) We turn off the DVD player and notice it takes 3 seconds for the DVD to stop spinningdue to kinetic friction. What is the angular acceleration of the DVD? How many rotations does theDVD make before it stops? C) If we model the total kinetic friction force acting on the DVD as acting on a point r = 0.05m from the center of the disk, pointing in the direction opposite of the motion at this point, then whatis the coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the disk tray?
