APPLY THE ROTATIONAL KINEMATIC RELATIONS FOR SYSTEMS WITH CONSTANT ANGULAR
ACCELERATIONS
Learning Competency:
Apply the rotational kinematic relations for systems with constant angular accelerations. (STEM_GP12RED-IIa-

2. A wheel of radius 14.0 cm starts from rest and turns through 2.0 revolutions in 3.0s.
a. What is its average velocity?
b. What is the tangential velocity of a point on the rim of the wheel?
3. A rifle is a long gun barrel has been grooved or “rifled” on the inside with spiral channels. Bullets fired
from a rifled barrel spin. This gives them greater stability in flight and thus greater accuracy when fired. Since
1964, the standard infantry weapon in the US Army has been the 0.22 caliber M16 rifle. Due to rifting, a bullet
fired from an M16 rotates two and a half times on its journey from the breech to the muzzle. Given a barrel
length of 510 mm and a muzzle velocity of 950 m/s. Determine the following. a. the average translational
acceleration
b. the average angular acceleration (in radians per second squared)
c. the final angular velocity (in rotations per second)
4. A fish swimming behind a luxury cruise liner gets caught in a whirlpool created by the ship’s propeller.
If the fish has an angular velocity of 2.5 rad/s and the water in the whirlpool accelerates at 4.5 rad/s 2, what will
be the instantaneous angular velocity of the fish at the end of 5.0 seconds?
