3. 3. “w” is the symbol for Angular velocity

4. In the formula W = t q, W represents Work

5. 5. “L” is the symbol for Angular momentum

6. A race down an incline between a ring and a hollow sphere of the same mass and radius would be won by the Hollow sphere I ring = mr2 and I hollow sphere = 2/3mr2

7. 7. Convert 30 revolutions into radians 30 rev x 2p rad = 188 rad rev

8. 8. “a” is the symbol for Angular acceleration

9. 9. The symbol (variable) for rotational inertia is “I”
