Combining the definition of angular speed with the arc length equation,
we can find a relationship between angular and linear speeds. The angular speed equation can be solved for
giving
Substituting this into the arc length equation gives:
Substituting this into the linear speed equation gives:
Angular and linear speed
As a point moves along a circle of radius
its
angular speed ,
is the angular rotation
per unit time,
The
linear speed.
of the point can be found as the distance traveled, arc length
per unit time,
When the angular speed is measured in radians per unit time, linear speed and angular speed are related by the equation
This equation states that the angular speed in radians,
representing the amount of rotation occurring in a unit of time, can be multiplied by the radius
to calculate the total arc length traveled in a unit of time, which is the definition of linear speed.
Given the amount of angle rotation and the time elapsed, calculate the angular speed.
If necessary, convert the angle measure to radians.
Divide the angle in radians by the number of time units elapsed:
.
The resulting speed will be in radians per time unit.
Finding angular speed
A water wheel, shown in
[link] , completes 1 rotation every 5 seconds. Find the angular speed in radians per second.
The wheel completes 1 rotation, or passes through an angle of
radians in 5 seconds, so the angular speed would be
radians per second.
Given the radius of a circle, an angle of rotation, and a length of elapsed time, determine the linear speed.
Convert the total rotation to radians if necessary.
Divide the total rotation in radians by the elapsed time to find the angular speed: apply
Multiply the angular speed by the length of the radius to find the linear speed, expressed in terms of the length unit used for the radius and the time unit used for the elapsed time: apply
Finding a linear speed
A bicycle has wheels 28 inches in diameter. A tachometer determines the wheels are rotating at 180 RPM (revolutions per minute). Find the speed the bicycle is traveling down the road.
Here, we have an angular speed and need to find the corresponding linear speed, since the linear speed of the outside of the tires is the speed at which the bicycle travels down the road.
We begin by converting from rotations per minute to radians per minute. It can be helpful to utilize the units to make this conversion:
Using the formula from above along with the radius of the wheels, we can find the linear speed:
Remember that radians are a unitless measure, so it is not necessary to include them.
Finally, we may wish to convert this linear speed into a more familiar measurement, like miles per hour.
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance

you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time

Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
