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. Find the angular velocity of a person standing on the equator
A wheel 1.0 m in radius rotates with an angular acceleration of 4.0rad/s2. The tangential acceleration of the point on the rim of the wheel at the end of the 10-s interval is Blank 4. NOTE: Only answer the D only because the other letters already have an answer. Round your answer to the nearest 0 decimal place.

The International Space Station has a mass of 440,725 kg and is located 420 km away from the surface of the earth. Earth has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6371 km. How quickly does the ISS travel as it orbits the earth, assuming uniform circular motion? Express your answers in rev/day (for angular velocity) and mph (for tangential velocity).

At it's peak, a tornado is 75m in diameter and carries 470m/s wind at its outer edge. What is it's angular speed in radians per second?
A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity"—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. The outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. If the space station is 210 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an "artificial gravity" of 9.80 m/s2 at the rim? ________ rpm
After a nuclear apocalypse on Earth, humans have built a space station known as the Ark. It has multiple sections controlled by different political factions, but one thing they all have in common is the need for artificial gravity. This is done in each section by setting a piece of the Ark spinning around the central axis of the station. The largest section of the station is a complete ring with a radius of 1000 m.a) What is the rotational velocity required to simulate gravity?b) One day on Earth is the defined by the amount of time it takes the Earth to rotate once around its axis and is 86,400 s. How many seconds is one “day” on this section of the station?c) When an inhabitant standing as they would on Earth, In which direction do their heads points? (which piece of the station)
How do I find the tangential speed of a ball going in uniform circular motion, in the problem I'm working on, a 1.3 m long string makes a 48.8 degree angle below the hoizontal. I am confused as to how I find the w to plug into the Vt=rw equation to get the tangential speed. Thanks for your help!

The outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. If the space station is 180 meters in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 meters per second squared at the rim in radians per second?
Problem 12: A merry-go-round is a playground ride that consists of a large disk mounted to that it can freely rotate in a horizontal plane. The merry-go-round shown is initially at rest, has a radius R = 1.3 meters, and a mass M = 241 kg. A small boy of mass m = 46 kg runs tangentially to the merry-go-round at a speed of v = 1.8 m/s, and jumps on. Randomized Variables R = 1.3 meters M = 241 kg m = 46 kg v = 1.8 m/s

1. The horizontal circular platform weighs 500 lb and has a radius of gyration of kz = 8 ft from the z-axis passing through O. The platform is free to rotate about the z-axis and is initially at rest. A person having a weight of 150 lb begins to run along the edge in a circular path of radius 10 ft. If they maintain a speed of 4 ft/s relative to the platform, determine the angular velocity of the 10 ft platform. Neglect friction. I don't think we have dealt with relative velocity in this context, but it follows our earlier relative velocity treatment. Here all speeds are in the t-direction. vp is the speed of the person, and vp is the speed of the disk at the location of the person. Then vp = vp + Vp/D, same as before. You are given vpp = 4 ft/s.
