- A planet rotates through one complete revolution every 27 hours. Since the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the equator, you can think of a person standing on the equator as standing on the edge of a disc that is rotating through one complete revolution every 27 hours.

The tires have a diameter of 0.82 mm. What was the angular acceleration of the tires? If the car continues to decelerate at this rate, how much more time is required for it to stop? If the car continues to decelerate at this rate, how far does it go? Find the total distance.arrow_forward
