ORLANDO, Fla. —

The NBA playoffs will pick up again this weekend after players made a powerful statement on Wednesday.

Athletes have a voice when it comes to change and demands for social justice. Their impact is extending off the court and into the world.

"We stand with them, we support them and we're there for them," Michael-Carter Williams said.

The Orlando Magic's Michael Carter-Williams spoke Thursday about the Milwaukee Bucks' decision not to play Wednesday and instead, making a demand for the end to social injustice.

"We have a big platform that we can use to really make change in this country and we can go home to our communities and make change there," Carter-Williams said.

The Bucks' decision led to all NBA games being postponed Wednesday, some baseball games weren't played, as well as soccer, and the WNBA.

"This was a historic moment last night, we never had anything like that happen before," Dr. Richard Lapchick said.

Lapchick is a UCF professor who is also the president of the Institute for Sport and Social Justice.

He says the impact from Wednesday's boycott can't be overstated.

"The unity that occurred between the players and teams and leagues, was particularly impressive," Lapchick said. "The importance of what the players are doing, and what the country is doing in response, is looking at more than police brutality, it's looking at systemic racism."

"People are just tired of what's going on, there's no justice at all," Sandy Lallavee said.

Lallavee is one of the many residents we spoke to who supports the athletes' desire for a committed dialogue and effective change.

"I think it's the right thing to do right now, I support their decision and I think it's terrible what's happening in the world, in America," Gerrod Trytten said.

"It's a younger generation doing things and trying to make change, I respect them and I think they're doing the right thing," Nick Trapp said.

"They're showing their humanity, they're showing what they really care about in society," Lapchick said.

The blades of a fan running at low speed turn at 250 rpm. When the fan is switched to high speed, the rotation rate increases un
fgiga [73]

Answer:

1.82 rad/s².

Explanation:

Applying,

α = (ω₂-ω₁)/t..................... Equation 1

Where α = angular acceleration of the fan blades, ω₂ = final angular velocity of the fan blades, ω₁ = initial angular velocity of the fan blades, t =  time.

Given: ω₂ = 350 rpm = (350×0.1047) rad/s = 36.645 rad/s. ω₁ = 250 rpm = (250×0.1047) rad/s = 26.175 rad/s, t = 5.75 s.

Substitute into equation 1

α = (36.645-26.175)/5.75

α = 10.47/5.75

α = 1.82 rad/s².

Hence the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the fan blades = 1.82 rad/s²
