Formulas 1 revoltion = 360 = 2 radians 1 radian = 57.

.3 = [(f - i) / time] (time) angle = [(final angular velocity initial angular velocity) / time] (time) f = i + t final angular velocity = initial angular velocity + (angular acceleration) (time) = it + t2 angle = (initial angular velocity) (time) + (angular acceleration) (time)2 f2 = i2 + 2 (final angular velocity)2 = (initial angular velocity)2 + 2 (angular acceleration) (angle) d = r distance along a circular path = (radius) (angle) v = r velocity = (radius) (angle) at = r tangential acceleration = (radius) (angular acceleration) Problems 1. A rotating machine part increases in angular velocity from 4 rev/min to 42 rev/min in 3.7 minutes. What is its angular acceleration?

2. A car is moving on a circular racetrack of radius 175 feet. It sweeps out an angle of 180. How far has it traveled? (hint: convert degrees to radians first)

3. A plane is circling an airport in a circle of radius 5,000 feet. How far has it traveled after 4 revolutions? 2011 Laura Glassel lizzietutoring.blogspot.com
