Question

An athlete spins in a circle before releasing adiscus with a tangential speed of 9.7 m/s.What is the angular speed of the spinningathlete? Assume the discus is 0.60 m from the

Answer 1

16.17 rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

tangential speed (v) = 9.7 m/s

distance from the athletes axis (r) = 0.6 m

find his angular speed

angular speed = ω/r

angular speed = 9.7/0.6 = 16.17 rad/s
