A bowling ball with a 12 cm radius has an initial angular velocity of 5.0 rad/s. Sometime later, after rotating through 5.5 radians, the bowling ball has an angular velocity of 1.5 rad/s. What is the average angular velocity of the bowling ball? What is the average linear velocity of the bowling ball? what is the angular deceleration?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans:

Average angular velocity=1.75 rad/s

Averagr Linear velocity= 21 cm/sec = 0.21 m/s

Deceleration = 2.068 rad/s^2

The object is rotating and we are asked to find kinematic quantities, so this is a rotational kinematics problem.

Note that I have taken counterclockwise as the positive direction and that the signs are explicitly stated. It is a very common source of error to leave out or to not consider the signs of directions of all vector quantities. To find the angular acceleration, we find the kinematics equation that contains α and the given quantities.

A bowler throws a bowling ball of radius 11cm down a bowling lane. It has an initial linear velocity of 8.8 m/s, but no initial angular velocity. The kinetic friction force causes both linear acceleration and an angular acceleration; the kinetic friction coefficient between the ball and the floor is 0.1. When the balls linear speed has decreased enough and the ball’s angular speed has increased enough there will come a moment when the ball’s contact point with the floor...
