Answer:
<em>n =1.33 revolutions</em>
Explanation:
<u>Uniform Circular Motion</u>
The angular speed can be calculated in two different ways:
Where:
v = tangential speed
r = radius of the circle described by the rotating object
Also:
Where:
f = frequency
Solving for f:
Since the frequency is calculated when the number of revolutions n and the time t are known:
We can solve for n:
n=f.t
The particle moves in a circle of r=90 m with a speed v=25 m/s. Thus the angular speed is:
Now we calculate f:
Calculating the number of revolutions:
n = 0.04421*30
n =1.33 revolutions
