A $60.0-\mathrm{kg}$ woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of $500 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2$ and a radius of $2.00 \mathrm{~m}$. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of $1.50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ relative to the Earth. (a) In what direction and with what angular speed does the turntable rotate?

Two points are located on a rigid wheel that is rotating with an increasing angular velocity about a fixed axis. The axis is perpendicular to the wheel at its center. Point 1 is located on the rim, and point 2 is halfway between the rim and the axis. At any given instant, which point (if either) has the greater tangential acceleration? Provide a reason for your answer.

The angular position of a point on the rim of a rotating wheel is given by $\theta = 4.0t - 3.0t^2 + t^3$, where $\theta$ is in radians and t is in seconds. What are the angular velocities at $t = 2.0 \text{~s}$.

Solve. Give answers to two significant digits. A Ferris wheel with diameter 50 ft makes one revolution every two minutes. What is the speed of a seat on the rim of the wheel?

Eight-year-old Allie Oop, an aspiring basketball player, shoots five feet from the hoop. She is trying to get the ball above the rim, which is set at a height of 10 feet. She releases the ball from an initial height of 4 feet. The following equation models the path of the ball, where x is the horizontal distance in feet that the ball has traveled and h is the ball's height in feet above the ground.

$$h=-0.4 x^2+3 x+4$$

Allie practices her shot, but it never reaches the rim, so her father lowers the hoop to 9 feet. Now will the ball reach the height of the rim? Justify your answer.

The angular position of a point on the rim of a rotating wheel is given by $\theta = 4.0t - 3.0t^2 + t^3$, where $\theta$ is in radians and t is in seconds. What is the instantaneous angular acceleration at the end of this time interval?

When the string is pulled with a force $p$ tangent to the rim, it gives the cylinder an angular acceleration $\alpha$, if the cylinder had fourfold the radius but everything else was the same the angular acceleration would be?

Viewed from above, a turntable rotates counterclockwise. The angular velocity vector is then (a) tangential to the turntable's rim, (b) out of the plane of the turntable, (c) counterclockwise, (d) none of the preceding.

A wheel with a 30-cm radius is rotating at a rate of 3 radians/sec. What is the linear speed of a point on its rim, in meters per minute?

A $60.0-\mathrm{kg}$ woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of $500 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2$ and a radius of $2.00 \mathrm{~m}$. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of $1.50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ relative to the Earth. (b) How much work does the woman do to set herself and the turntable into motion?

A wheel of radius $27.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ has an angular speed of $47.0 \mathrm{rpm}$. Calculate the linear speed (in $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ ) of a point on its rim.

A carousel with a 50 -foot diameter makes 4 revolutions per minute. (a) Find the angular speed of the carousel in radians per minute. (b) Find the linear speed of the platform rim of the carousel.

(I) Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel $67 \text{~cm}$ in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of $1.1 \text{~kg}$. The mass of the hub (at the center) can be ignored (why?).
