Chapter 3 - Radian Measure and the Unit Circle - Section 3.4 Linear and Angular Speed - 3.4 Exercises - Page 130: 9

Answer

(a) $3\pi\,rad$ (b) $24\,\pi\,inches$ (c) $\frac{8\pi}{3}\,in/min$

Work Step by Step

(a) $\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$ $\implies \theta=\omega t=(\frac{\pi}{3}\,rad/min)\times9\,min$ $=3\pi\,rad$ (b) Using the arc length formula,we have Distance traveled $s=r\theta= (8\,in)(3\pi)$ $=24\pi \,inches$ (c) Linear speed $v=r\omega$ $=8\,in(\frac{\pi}{3}\,rad/min)=\frac{8\pi}{3}\,in/min$
