Question
To throw the discus, the thrower holds it with a fully outstretched arm. Starting from rest, he begins to turn with a constant angular acceleration, releasing the discus after making one complete revolution. The diameter of the circle in which the discus moves is about 1.6 mm.
If the thrower takes 1.0 s to complete one revolution, starting from rest, what will be the speed of the discus at release?

Answer:
Explanation:
Time taken to complete one revolution is called time period.
So, Time period, T = 1 s
Diameter = 1.6 mm
radius, r = 0.8 mm
Let the angular speed is ω.
The relation between angular velocity and the time period is
ω = 2 x 3.14 = 6.28 rad/s
The relation between the linear velocity and the angular velocity is
v = r x ω
v = 0.8 x 10^-3 x 6.28
v = 0.005 m/s
