Rotational Kinetic Energy: A small ball is tied to one end of a light 2.5-m wire, and the other end of the wire is hooked to the ceiling. A person pulls the ball to the side until the wire makes an angle of 35° with the plane of the ceiling and then gently releases it. What is the angular speed of the ball, in rad/s, as it swings through its lowest point?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


1.8 rad/s
