Already know this?

Ten questions. The result tells you which lessons you may skip.

1

A body's acceleration points exactly along its velocity. Its path is

2

At one instant a body's acceleration makes an angle of \(120°\) with its velocity. At that instant the body is

3

A body's acceleration stays at right angles to its velocity and keeps the same size. Its path is

4

One radian is about

5

A finite angular displacement is not treated as a vector because

6

A wheel turns at \(600\,\text{rpm}\). Its angular velocity is about

7

Two points on a turning disc are at \(5\,\text{cm}\) and \(10\,\text{cm}\) from the axis. Compared with the inner point, the outer point has

8

In uniform circular motion,

9

A stone goes round a circle of radius \(0.5\,\text{m}\) at a steady \(4\,\text{rad/s}\). Its centripetal acceleration is

10

A wheel starts from rest with a constant angular acceleration. At the first instant, the acceleration of a point on its rim points

11

A particle on a circle about the origin is at \(\vec r = 3\hat i\,\text{m}\), with \(\vec\omega = 2\hat k\,\text{rad/s}\). Its velocity is

12

A disc turning at \(10\,\text{rad/s}\) slows at a steady \(2\,\text{rad/s}^2\). Through what angle does it turn before it stops?

13

The area under the \(\omega\)-\(t\) graph of a turning wheel gives

14

A ball is launched at \(20\,\text{m/s}\) at \(60°\) above the horizontal, with \(g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2\). The radius of curvature of its path at the highest point is

15

A particle moves at \(6\,\text{m/s}\) along a straight line that passes \(3\,\text{m}\) from a point O. When it is closest to O, its angular velocity about O is
