. A blowing ball with a 12 cm radius has an initial angular velocity of 5.0 rad/s. Sometime later, after rotating through 5.5 radians, the bowling ball has an angular velocity of 1.5 rad/s. What is the average angular velocity of the bowling ball

3.3 rad/sec.

Explanation:

The term '' average angular velocity'' can be defined as the rate at which the angular velocity changes. Kindly note that the rate in which the angular velocity changes is in radian per seconds[rad/sec]. So, without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question above.

The radius of the blowing ball = 12cm, the initial angular velocity = 5.0 rad/s, the final angular velocity =  1.5 rad/s and the angle of rotation = 5.5 radians.

Therefore, from the definition of average angular velocity given above, the mathematical representation can be written as given below:

The average angular velocity  = [ the  initial angular velocity] + [the final angular velocity] / 2.

Thus, the average angular velocity = [ 5.0 rad/s + 1.5 rad/s] / 2 = 3.3 rad/s.

All of the orbits were in the shape of an ellipse, with the orbited body on the inside of the ellipse.
