A rotating wheel requires 10.0 s to rotate 39.0 revolutions. Its angular velocity at the end of the 10.0-s interval is 92.0 rad/s. What is the constant angular acceleration (in rad/s) of the wheel

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]13.5 rad/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

39 revolutions = 39 * 2π = 245 rad

Let [tex]\omega_0[/tex] be the initial angular velocity of the wheel before the 10 s interval. We have the following equation of motion for angular velocity

[tex]\omega = \omega_0 + \alpha t[/tex]

where [tex]\omega = 92 rad/s[/tex] is the final angular velocity of the rotating wheel. [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the constant angular acceleration of the wheel, which we are looking for, and t = 10s is the duration time that the wheel rotates

[tex]92 = \omega_0 + 10\alpha[/tex]

[tex]\omega_0 = 92 - 10\alpha[/tex]

We also have the following equation of motion for angles

[tex]\theta = \omega_0t + \alpha t^2/2[/tex]

where [tex]\theta = 245 rad[/tex] is the total angles rotated

we can also substitute [tex]\omega_0 = 92 - 10\alpha[/tex]

[tex]245 = 10(92 - 10\alpha) + \alpha 10^2/2[/tex]

[tex]245 = 920 - 100\alpha + 50\alpha[/tex]

[tex]50\alpha = 675 [/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 675 / 50 = 13.5 rad/s^2[/tex]
