A car is driving at a constant speed around a circular track on level ground, completing each lap in 21.0 s. The distance between the tires on the left and right sides of the car is 1.00 m, and the radius of each wheel is 0.370 m. What is the difference between the angular speeds of the wheels on the left and right sides of the car?

While a subject, whose eyeball has radius 1.25 cm, watches a moving object her eyeball rotates through 20.0° in a time interval of 69.6 ms. a. What is the magnitude of the average angular velocity of the eye? asnwer in rad/s b. Assume that the eye starts at rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration during the first half of the interval, and then the rotation slows with a constant angular acceleration during the second half until it comes to rest. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the eye? answer in rad/s^2 c. What tangential acceleration would the contact-lens accelerometers record in this case? answer in m/s^2arrow_forward
