Angular speed |
2010-12-03 |
 |
From Julie: If the angular speed of a circle is 360 degrees divided by the time it took to rotate,
how do I calculate ones that have greater rotations than the amount of time?
I mean, you calculate the angular speed of a merry-go-around that spins once every 5 seconds
by doing 360degrees/5 sec, but how do you calculate a merry-go-around that has 16 rotations every 4 seconds? Answered by Penny Nom. |

 |
From Jules: A dead fly is stuck to a belt that passes over two pulleys 6 inches and 8
inches in radius. Assuming no slippage,how fast is the fly moving when
the large pulley (8 inches) makes 21 revolutions per second ? How many
revolutions per second does the small pulley make ?
How long will it take the dead fly to travel 1 mile ? Answered by Penny Nom. |
