Question

2. In lacrosse, a ball is thrown from a lacrosse stick by rotating the stick around the point where the player is holding it. The velocity of a ball as it leaves a stick is 30 m/s. The player’s stick is 1m long and they are holding it at its halfway point. What is the angular velocity of the head of the stick? (5 points)

Answer 1

The angular velocity of the head of the stick is w= 60Rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a midpoint between the two players at a distance of 1m. It is understood that there is a midpoint that will be the center of the circle,

so things the radius that exists between the two players is 0.5.

The speed at which the ball travels is 30m / s.

We know that the angular velocity is given by,

`w = (v)/(r)`

where,

v = Object speed

r = the radius that follows said trajectory

Replacing the values we have

`w = (30)/(0.5)`

`w= 60Rad/s`
