Angular Displacement of a Baseball
Not what you're looking for?
A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.53 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular velocity of 335 rev/min (assumed constant) on its way to the catcher's mitt. What is the angular displacement of the baseball (in radians) as it travels from the pitcher to the catcher?
