A Blu-ray disc is approximately 11 centimeters in diameter. The drive motor of a Blu-ray player is able to rotate up to 10,000 revolutions per minute. (a) Find the maximum angular speed (in radians per second) of a Blu-ray disc as it rotates

Respuesta :

Answer:

the maximum angular speed (in radians per second) of a Blu-ray disc as it rotates is 57.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given information:

diameter of the disc, d  = 11 cm, r = 5.5 cm = 0.055 m

angular speed ω = 10000 rev/min = (10000 rev/min)(2π rad/rev)(1/60 min/s)

                             = 1000π/3 rad/s

to calculate the maximum angular speed we can use the following formula

ω = v/r

v = ωr

  = (1000π/3)(0.055)

  = 57.6 m/s
