Afigure skater begins spinning counterclockwise at an angular speed of 3.2 π rad/s. during a 4.2 s interval, she slowly pulls her arms
inward and finally spins at 8.8 π rad/s.
what is her average angular acceleration
during this time interval?
answer in units of rad/s^2

4.2 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given:

ω₀ = 3.2π rad/s

ω = 8.8π rad/s

t = 4.2 s

Find: α

ω = αt + ω₀

8.8π rad/s = α (4.2 s) + 3.2π rad/s

α = 4.2 rad/s²

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
