2.
A spool of thread has an average radius of 1.00 cm. If the spool contains 62.8 m of thread, how many turns of thread are on the spool? "Average radius" allows us to not need to treat the layering of threads on lower layers.
a)
100
b)
1000
c)
3140
d)
62800
3.
A Ferris wheel, rotating initially at an angular speed of 0.50 rad/s, accelerates over a 7.0-s interval at a rate of 0.040 rad/s2. What is its angular speed after this 7-s interval?
a)
0.2 rad/s
b)
0.3 rad/s
c)
0.46 rad/s
d)
0.78 rad/s
4.
You apply force to a wrench to tighten a bolt. The wrench breaks in half. Select the best answer for what happens next. Assume the force applied remains constant.
a)
The torque is now half of what it was, because torque and distance are inversely proportional
b)
The torque is now half of what it was, because torque and distance are directly proportional
c)
The torque is now double of what it was, because torque and distance are inversely proportional
d)
The torque is now double of what it was, because torque and distance are directly proportional
5.
If the translational velocity of an object is 3 m/s, and is located a distance of 2 m from the axis of rotation, what is the object's angular velocity?
a)
0.67 rad/s
b)
1.5 rad/s
c)
5 rad/s
d)
6 rad/s
6.

If a wheel is turning at a rate of 3 rotations/sec and a larger wheel is turning at 3 rotations/sec, which wheel has greater angular speed?

a)

The larger wheel since its diameter is bigger

b)

The smaller wheel because it has to turn more to cover the same ground.

c)

The larger wheel since its circumference is greater.

d)

Neither since angular speed is not dependent on diameter or radius.

7.
A fan blade, initially at rest, rotates with a constant acceleration of 0.025 rad/s2. What is the time interval required for it to reach a 4.2 rad displacement after starting from rest

2.0 s
c)
16 s
d)
18 s
8.

b)
4.8 rad/s/s
c)
3.1 rad/s/s
d)
1.6 rad/s/s
9.
