5.1 Problems PDF

1) The document contains 14 word problems involving calculating values related to circular motion such as arc length, sector area, angular and linear speed. The problems require using formulas like central angle (in radians) = arc length/radius to solve for unknown values. 2) Sample problems include finding the arc length given a central angle and radius, sector area given central angle and radius, and angular and linear speed given time taken for an object to sweep a central angle along a circular path. 3) Formulas used include relating sector area to central angle and radius, angular speed to change in central angle over time, and linear speed to angular speed and radius.
