Chapter 11.1, Problem 11.1GI

You’re standing on the sidewalk watching a car go by on the adjacent road, moving from left to right. The direction of the angular velocities of the car’s wheels is (a) toward the sidewalk; (b) in the direction of the car’s forward motion; (c) toward the back of the car; (d) vertically upward; (e) away from the sidewalk; (f) different for each of the four wheels.

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.The tower is 55 m tall. In radians per second, what is the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base?
During a trampoline routine, a gymnast is tumbling in the air at 21 rad/s in a tuck position. He then extends into a layout position and doubles his radius of gyration just before landing on the trampoline bed.   How fast is his angular velocity in rad/s at this instant, just before landing on the trampoline bed?
A “blink of an eye” is a time interval of about 150 ms for an average adult. The “closure” portion of the blink takes only about 55 ms. Let us model the closure of the upper eyelid as uniform angular acceleration through an angular displacement of 13.6°. (a) What is the value of the angular acceleration the eyelid undergoes while closing?  (b)What is the tangential acceleration of the edge of the eyelid while closing if the radius of the eyeball is 1.25 cm?
