Problem 13
An object has an angular velocity of \(1.0 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) and an angular acceleration of \(-0.5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). Is the speed of its rotation increasing or decreasing?
Problem 15

Problem 18
A bicycle wheel with a radius of \(0.62 \mathrm{~m}\) rotates with an angular speed of \(21 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) about its axle, which is at rest. What is the linear speed of a point on the rim of the wheel?
Problem 19
