Determine the following rotational quantities. Make assumptions or estimates where appropriate.
A) What is the magnitude of the angular velocity of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun?
B) What is the magnitude of the angular velocity of a wheel in a car driving on the interstate. (state all assumptions)
C) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of a gyroscope that starts out spinning at 53 Hz and takes 7.2 s to slow down to zero?
D) A spinning neutron star, with a period of 4.3 ms, is slowing with an angular acceleration of 2.4x10-8 s-2. How many years will it take for it to stop spinning?
