A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.75 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular velocity of 395 rev/min (assumed constant) on its way to the catcher's mitt. What is the angular displacement of the baseball (in radians) as it travels from the pitcher to the catcher? Note: Express your answer in whole numbers. No unit is required for the final answer. Set your calculator in radians. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.

The ability of the human eye to rapidly rotate was studied using contact lenses fitted with accelerometers. 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^2
