Phy130-Tutorial 7 PDF

This document contains 13 problems involving rotational motion concepts such as angular velocity, angular acceleration, tangential speed, and centripetal force. The problems calculate values for these rotational motion quantities for objects such as wheels, disks, and merry-go-rounds accelerating from rest or changing their rate of rotation at constant angular acceleration. Sample calculations are provided for determining angular acceleration, angular displacement, tangential acceleration, and centripetal acceleration.
