Potter's wheel rotating at 300 rev/min is switched off and rotates through 88.0 revolutions prior to coming to rest. what is the constant angular acceleration of the potter's wheel g

Respuesta :

initial angular speed of the wheel is given by

[tex]w_0 = 300 rev/min[/tex]

[tex]w_0 = 2\pi * \frac{300}{60}[/tex]

[tex]w_0 = 31.4 rad/s[/tex]

angular displacement of wheel till it stops

[tex]\theta = 2 \pi N = 2\pi * 88[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 552.92 rad[/tex]

now by the kinematics equations we will have

[tex]w^2 - w_0^2 = 2\alpha \theta[/tex]

[tex] 0 - 31.4^2 = 2*\alpha * 552.92[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = -0.89 rad/s^2[/tex]
