Question

Someone is spinning a basketball on his finger. If it is spinning at a rate of 8.92 times per second, what is the basketball's angular velocity in units of radians per second?

Answer 1

angular velocity = 56.04 rad/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The baseball is spinning at the rate of 8.92 times per second.

We need to find the basketball's angular velocity in units of radians per second.

Here, frequency of the baseball is 8.92 Hz.

We know that Angular velocity is given by :

`\omega=2\pi f\\\\\omega=2\pi * 8.92 \\\\\omega=56.04\ rad/s`

So, the angular velocity of the basketball is 56.04 rad/s.
