Angular Potential Energy Concepts

This document contains a chapter test with two parts: 1. An identification section asking to identify quantities described in various physics problems, including energy, acceleration, potential energy, and more. 2. A problem solving section with two multi-step physics problems: calculating the power output of a student running up stairs, and calculating the angular acceleration and stopping time of a centrifuge slowing down.

B. Problem Solving. Read the problems given below. Answer
directly, but show your solution.
1) A 50-kg student who is late for a class runs up two flights of stairs
whose combined vertical height is 7.0 m in 10 s (and he then
silently enters the classroom while the professor is writing on the
chalkboard). Calculate the student’s power output in doing work
against gravity in Watts.
2) A centrifuge turning at 20,000 rpm is suddenly turned off. Before
it comes to a stop, the centrifuge spins for 1,500 revolutions.
a. Calculate the angular acceleration of the centrifuge assuming it
to be constant.
b. How long would it take for it to stop?
