<span>Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. It is equal to the linear velocity divided by the radius of the circular motion. However, we are not given the linear velocity and the radius of the motion. We instead use the equation for the rotational kinetic energy. It is expressed as:
</span>
Rotational kinetic energy = Iω^2 / 2

where I is the inertia and ω is the angular velocity

175 = (3.75)ω^2 / 2
ω = 9.66 rad/s

The angular velocity of the motion is about 9.66 rad / s.

The angular velocity of the kicker’s leg while he kicks the ball is  \boxed{9.66\,{{{\text{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{rad}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The moment of inertia of the leg is 3.75\,{\text{kg}} \cdot {{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}.

The rotational kinetic energy of the leg is 175\,{\text{J}}.

Concept:

As the kicker rotates his leg to kick the ball, he gains the rotational kinetic energy by rotating it at a particular angular speed and this rotational kinetic energy of the leg is converted into the linear kinetic energy of the football and it moves forward at certain speed.

The rotational kinetic energy of the leg is expressed as:

K{E_R}=\dfrac{1}{2}I{\omega ^2}  

Here, K{E_R} is the rotational kinetic energy, I is the moment of inertia of the leg and \omega  is the angular speed of the leg.

Substitute the values of energy and the moment of inertia in above expression.

\begin{aligned}175&=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.75\times {\omega ^2}\\\omega&=\sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 175}}{{3.75}}}\\&=\sqrt {93.33}\,{{{\text{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{rad}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\&=9.66\,{{{\text{rad}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{rad}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the angular velocity of the kicker’s leg while he kicks the ball is  \boxed{9.66\,{{{\text{rad}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{rad}}} {\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

How fast must a 350 gram softball be traveling in order to have a momentum of .600 kg
BartSMP [9]
Momentum is mass times velocity. So here we can just substitute in our givens and solve for velocity.

.600kg*m/s/.350kg=1.71m/s

Hope this helps! Thank you!

A system of two paint buckets connected by a lightweight rope is released from rest with the 12.0-kg bucket 2.00 m above the flo
NISA [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Mass of small bucket (m) = 4 kg

    Mass of big bucket (M) = 12 kg

    Initial velocity (v_{o}) = 0 m/s

    Final velocity (v_{f}) = ?

  Height H_{o} = h_{f} = 2 m

and,    H_{f} = h_{o} = 0 m

Now, according to the law of conservation of energy

         starting conditions = final conditions

  \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}_{o} + Mgh_{o} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{o} + mgh_{o} = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}_{f} + Mgh_{f} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{f} + mgh_{f}

     \frac{1}{2}(12)(0)^{2} + (12)(9.81)(2) + \frac{1}{2}(4)(0)^{2} + (4)(9.81)(0) = \frac{1}{2}(12)V^{2}_{f} + (12)(9.81)(0) + \frac{1}{2}(4)V^{2}_{f} + (4)(9.81)(2)

                 235.44 = 8V^{2}_{f} + 78.48

                V_{f} = 4.43 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed with which this bucket strikes the floor is 4.43 m/s.

A fish finder uses a sonar device that sends 20,000-Hz sound pulses downward from the bottom of the boat, and then detects echoe
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:  The minimum time between pulses (in fresh water)

= 0.3106 s

Explanation:

To calculate the speed of echoes sounds, we will use

Speed = 2x/t

Where x = distance and t = total time.

Please note that:

sound travels at 343 m/s in air. But it travels at 1,481 m/s in water (almost 4.3 times as fast as in air); 

Total distance = 2 × 230 = 460m

Using speed of sound in water

1481 = 460/t

t = 460/1481

t = 0.3106
