1. What is uniform circular motion? Explain
2. In lacrosse, a ball is thrown from a net on the end of a stick by rotating the stick and forearm about the
elbow. If the angular velocity of the ball about the elbow joint is 30.0 rad/s and the ball is 1.30 m from
the elbow joint, what is the velocity of the ball?
3. A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular
path the riders follow has an 8.00 m radius, at how many revolutions per minute will the riders be
subjected to a centripetal acceleration 1.50 times that due to gravity?
4. A puck of mass 0.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The puck moves in a horizontal
circle. If the cord can withstand a maximum tension of 50.0 N, what is the maximum speed at which
the puck can move before the cord breaks?
