Question 1.[25 points]
A.[10 points] The Earth is show in the figure at right. It makes a complete revolution, around its axis, in the course of a day (24 hours).
a. What is the angular velocity, \(\omega \), of the earth in radians per second?
b. Consider someone living in Chicago, in the northern hemisphere and someone living on the equator.
i. Is the angular velocity, \(\omega \), of the person in Chicago greater than, less than, or equal to the angular velocity of the person on the equator? Explain.
ii. Is the linear velocity, \(\boldsymbol{v}\), of the person in Chicago greater than, less than, or equal to the linear velocity of the person on the equator? Explain.
B.[15 points] A potter's wheel of radius 0.26 m is turned on at \( t=0\) and accelerates uniformly. After 72 s , the wheel has an angular velocity of \(1.5\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{s}\). Show all work.
a. Find the angular acceleration of the wheel.
b. Find the angular velocity of the wheel at \(\mathrm{t}=50\mathrm{~s}\).
c. Find the total angular displacement of the wheel during this time.
