rapidly with a constant angular acceleration of 3.00 rad/ s2

Q4) A potter’s wheel rotates with an angular acceleration a= 4at3 – 3bt2 , where t is the time in
seconds , a and b are constants, and a has units of radians per second squared. The initial position
of the wheel is 00 and the initial angular velocity is w0. Obtain expression for the angular velocity
and the angular displacement of the wheel a function of time.
Q5) A centrifuge has a radius of 20 cm and accelerates from a maximum rotation rate of 10,000

initially at rest. What was the original speed of the bullet if that block with the embedded bullet
were moving at a speed of 1.10 m/s immediately after the collision?
Q7) Seven hits a baseball (m = 0.15 kg). He applies an average force of 50.0 N. The ball had an
initial velocity of 35.0 m/s to the fan.
A. What is the impulse delivered by Sven’s bat to the baseball
B. How long is his bat in contact with the ball?
