Power

A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude 22 N on the free end of the crank handle, and this end moves in a circular path of radius 0.28 m. The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every 1.3s, What is the average power being expended?

Rotational Motion and Angular Displacement, Angular Velocity and Angular Acceleration

A Ferris wheel rotates at an angular velocity of 0.24 rad/s. Starting from rest, it reaches its operating speed with an average angular acceleration of 0.030 rad/s^2. How long does it take the wheel to come up to operating speed?

Centripetal Acceleration and Tangential Acceleration

A centrifuge is used for training astronaunts to withstand large accelerations. It consists of a chamber (in which the astronaunt sits) that is fixed to the end of a long horizontal and rigid pole. The arrangement is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the pole's free end. Such a centrifuge starts from rest and has an angular acceleration of 0.25 rad/s^2. The chamber is 3.0 m from the axis of rotation. Through what angle has the device rotated when the centripetal acceleration experienced by an astronaut in the chamber is four times the acceleration due to the earth's gravity?

The Action of Forces and Torques on Rigid Objects

In San Francisco a very simple technique is used to turn around a cable car when it reaches the end of its route. The car rolls onto a turntable, which can rotate about a vertical axis through its center. Then, two people push perpendicularly on the car, one at each end. The turn table is rotated one-half of a revolution to turn the car around. If the length of the car is 9.20 m and each person pushes with a 185-N force, what is the magnitude of the net torque applied to the car?
