Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A speeder bike has wheels of 0.6 meters radius. If the bike accelerates from rest to an angular velocity of 10 rad/s in 2 seconds, calculate the linear velocity and linear acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the wheel.
💡 Hint: Use the principles of linear motion combined with angular speed.
A turntable rotates at 30 rad/s. Calculate how far a point on its edge moves in 5 seconds and its angular acceleration if it comes to a stop in 10 seconds.
💡 Hint: Use angular to linear transformations along with distance and time.
