Question

1. A wheel with a 0.12 m radius is rotating at 37 rev/s. It then slows uniformly to 13 rev/s over a 2.8 s interval. What is the angular acceleration of a point on the wheel?

2.A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 2.8 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 14 rad/s over the next 7.2 seconds. Assume that the angular acceleration is constant. Through how many revolutions does the grindstone turn during the 7.2 second interval?

3. A spinning disc rotating at 140 rev/min slows and stops 42 s later. How many revolutions did the disc make during this time?

4. An amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 6.8 m. The seats begin from rest and are uniformly accelerated for 26 seconds to a maximum rotational speed of 1.6 rad/s. What is the tangential acceleration of the passengers during the first 13 s of the ride?

Explanation / Answer

1)angular accelration is rate of change of angular velocity

first findout the change in angularvelocity convert rps to rpm768

w=w1-w2

=224.196

alpha=224.196/2.8

=80.07

2) find change in angular speed

=w1-w2

=11.2rad/s

=107rpm

=1.783rev/s

3) in this question convert rev/minute to rev/s

140rpm=2.33rps

no of revoultions equal to 2.33x42

=97.86 revoultions

4)in this problem tangential accelration is rate of change of angular velocity

first find v=rw

=1.6x6.8

=10.88m/s

alpha=rate of change of velocity

=10.88/13

=0.836m/s2
