The document contains three physics problems involving circular motion. The first problem calculates the distance a point on a compact disc moves when it rotates through a specific angle. The second problem involves converting angular speed from revolutions per minute to radians per second and finding the arc length traced by a helicopter rotor, while the third problem calculates the centripetal force and acceleration for an object moving in a circular path.

1) A compact disc has a diameter of 12cm a point on the rim moves through an angle of 150°.

How far
does this point move in centimeters?

2) The rotor on a helicopter turns at an angular speed of 3.20 ×10² revolutions per minute.

a) Express this angular speed in radiance per second

b) If the rotor has a radius of 2cm, what arc length does the tip of the blade trace out in 3×10²seconds ?

3) An object of weight 150N

moves with a speed of 4.5 m/s in a circular path of radius 3m. What is the centripetal force and the
centripetal acceleration (take g= 10 m/s² )
