Answer:
The average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is 136.01 inches/second
Explanation:
Given;
length of the club, L = 29 inches
rotation angle, θ = 215⁰
time of motion, t = 0.8 s
The angular speed of the club is calculated as follows;
[tex]\omega = (\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi, \ rad) \times \frac{1}{t} \\\\\omega = (\frac{215}{360} \times 2\pi, \ rad) \times \frac{1}{0.8 \ s} \\\\\omega = 4.69 \ rad/s[/tex]
The average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is calculated as;
v = ωr
v = 4.69 rad/s x 29 inches
v = 136.01 inches/second
Therefore, the average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is 136.01 inches/second
