An automobile accelerates from zero to 24 m/s in 6 s. The wheels have a diameter of 2 m. What is the
average angular acceleration of each wheel?

Select one:
a. 3 rad/s2
b. 2 rad/s2
c. 8 rad/s2
d. 4 rad/s2
e. 12 rad/s2

A 3.0-m rod is pivoted about its left end. A force of 10 N is applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance
of 1.2 m from the pivot causing a ccw torque, and a force of 5.2 N is applied at the end of the rod 3.0 m
from the pivot. The 5.2-N force is at an angle of 30o to the rod and causes a cw torque. What is the net
torque about the pivot? (Take ccw as positive.)

Select one:
a. 4.2 N·m
b. −4.2 N·m
c. −18 N·m
d. 18 N·m

A 0.30-m radius automobile tire rotates how many rad after starting from rest and accelerating at a
constant 4.0 rad/s2 over a 3.0-s interval?

Select one:
a. 5.4 rad
b. 18 rad
c. 40 rad
d. 36 rad
e. 10.8 rad
A grindstone spinning at the rate of 20 rev/s has what approximate angular speed?

Select one:
a. 63 rad/s
b. 40 rad/s
c. 126 rad/s
d. 6.4 rad/s
e. 31 rad/s

,A fan blade, initially at rest, rotates with a constant acceleration of 0.025 rad/s 2. What is the time interval

Question 4
Correct
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00




Question text
The torque caused by a force F applied at a distance r from the axis of rotation, is given by τ = rF
sinθ, where θ is the angle between and . If the magnitudes r and F remain the same, what


other angle θ' will produce the same torque as was produced at angle θ if θ was less than 90°?

Select one:
a. θ' = 90° - θ
b. None of the above.
c. θ' = 90° + θ
d. θ' = 180° - θ


Correct

Feedback
The correct answer is: θ' = 180° - θ
