any idea where to start?

OpenStudy (maemae16):

i have no idea of where i should start

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

lol alright give me a few minutes let me pull out my notes hah

OpenStudy (maemae16):

ok

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Ok well let's start by asking, what are the units of angular velocity?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

you there?

OpenStudy (maemae16):

i dont know

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ok well in angular velocity it i the number of radians traveled/unit of time. In this case, we have two answer choices (the middle two) that correspond with the units we should be expecting.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Now, angular velocity is solved through a number of proportions. It takes a lot of practice to understand the concept.

OpenStudy (maemae16):

i was never taught this

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Your goal is to get the end value having the units of rad/sec. So let's look at how we should try to get that.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

we are given a pendulum length- 6 feet. Now a pendulum can swing in a whole circle, so we can assume that the pendulum length is another form of saying a radius. The arc length is 14.13 ft the time is 3 seconds We know that one of our units at the end has seconds at bottom so let's use 3 seconds last.

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Let's set up proportions. But first, some equivalent values to keep in mind. 2(pi)radians = 360 degrees = 1 revolution = 2(pi)(r)

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

\[\frac{ 14.13 ft }{ 3 \sec } \times \frac{ 2(\pi)radians }{ 2(\pi)(6)}\]

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Does the above post make sense to you. 2(pi)(6) should have ft as the unit. But if you see, ft cancel out and what is left should be radians/sec I used the values given and set it up by proportions.

no
