2. A car initially at rest, free of moving along a track with 8 m radius, is given a constant angular acceleration of 2.5 s-2 for 4 s. Calculate:
(i) The distance traveled by the car from 0 to 4 s.
(ii) The centripetal acceleration at t = 4 s.
3. Old vinyl records had a radius of 0.15 m and were spinning at 33 RPM. Calculate:
(i) the rotation period.
(ii) the tangent velocity of a point at the edge of the record.

(i) Calculate the magnitude of the torque of force F respect to the fixed rotation axis.

6. A solid sphere (I = 2/5 mR2) with mass 2 Kg and radius 0.5 m is initially at rest. The sphere is free to rotate through an axis passing through its center. A force of 10 N is applied at the edge of the sphere, in a direction tangent to the sphere and perpendicular to the rotation axis, for 2 s. Calculate:
(i) The angular acceleration of the sphere.
(ii) The angular speed of the sphere at t = 2 s.
