A platform is rotating with an angular speed of 3.00 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 11.0 rad/s2. At a point on the platform that is 1.40 m from the axis of rotation, what is the magnitude of the total acceleration a?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a=19.8977 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

ω=3.00 rad/s

r=1.40 m

α=11.0 rad/s²

To find

Acceleration

Solution

As the object moves in a circle so it has tangential acceleration also due to circular motion  is  has centripetal acceleration

The total acceleration can be found by

[tex]a=\sqrt{(a_{c})^{2}+(a_{T})^{2}}[/tex]

where

at is tangential acceleration

ac is centripetal acceleration

First we need to find centripetal acceleration

so

[tex]a_{c}=rw^{2}[/tex]

put the values or r and ω

[tex]a_{c}=(1.40m)*(3.00rad/s)^{2}\\a_{c}=12.6 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Now for tangential acceleration

[tex]a_{t}=ra\\a_{t}=(1.40m)*(11.0rad/s^{2} )\\a_{t}=15.4 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Put values of ac and at to find total acceleration

So

[tex]a=\sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} +(a_{c})^{2} }\\ a=\sqrt{(15.4m/s^{2} )^{2}+(12.6m/s^{2} )^{2}  }\\ a=19.8977m/s^{2}[/tex]
