Linear velocity and angular velocity are related by the formula:
v = ωr

ω = n2πr/t, where n is the number of rotations, t is the time taken, r is the radius.
ω = 2 x 2π x 25/1
ω = 100π

v = 100π x 25
= 2500π feet per minute

What momentum of a 50kilogram ice skater gliding across the ice at a speed of 5m/s?
Ivenika [448]
Momentum (P) = Mass (kg) * Velocity (m/s)

P = M * V
P = 50 * 5
P = 250

So momentum is 250 kgm/s

A spring scale hung from the ceiling stretches by 6.4 cm when a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it. The 2.0 kg mass is removed and repl
dolphi86 [110]
In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=19.6N
This force causes a stretching of x=6.4 cm=0.064 m on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{19.6 N}{0.064 m}=306.3 N/m

In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
F=mg=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
x= \frac{F}{k}= \frac{24.5 N}{306.3 N/m}=0.080 m=8.0 cm
