Post by answerhappygod »

Starting from rest, the discus thrower depicted in the
figure pushes the discus with a constant radial acceleration
of +52.0 rad/s2 in a time of 0.220 s before
releasing it. During the acceleration, the discus moves in a
circular arc of radius 0.830 m.
a) What is the discus angular velocity when the thrower
releases it?
(Write the answer on your
worksheet as a step toward the final answer)
b) How large is the linear (or translational)
acceleration of the discus at that time?
(HINT: remember to combine the tangential
and centripetal acceleration vectors)
(Write your answer in the box
below)
