An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 720 rev/min to 200 rev/min in a time interval o

f length 3.25
a.find the angular acceleration in rev/s
b.find the number of revolutions made by the motor in the time interval of length 3.25
c.how many more seconds are required for the fan to come to rest if the angular acceleration remains constant at the value calculated in part a?

(a) first, we need to convert the initial and final angular speed into rev/s. Keeping in mind that 1 min=60 s, we should divide the speeds by 60:
\omega_i = 720 rev/min = 12.0 rev/s
\omega_f = 200 rev/min = 3.3 rev/s

So, the angular acceleration is
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t} = \frac{3.3 rev/s - 12.0 rev/s}{3.25 s}=-2.68 rev/s^2
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

(b) The angle covered by the fan (in revolutions) is given by the following equation
\theta(t) = \omega_i t +  \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2
where t is the time and \alpha the angular acceleration we find at point (a). Substituting numbers, we get
\theta (3.25 s)=(12.0 rev/s)(3.25 s)+ \frac{1}{2} (-2.68 rev/s^2)(3.25 s)^2=24.85 rev

(c) In order for the fan to come to rest, its final angular speed must go to zero:
\omega(t)=0

The expression for the angular speed as a function of time is 
\omega(t) = \omega _i + \alpha t
By requiring this is equal to zero, we find the time t after which the fan comes to rest:
\omega_i + \alpha t = 0
t=- \frac{\omega_i}{\alpha}= -\frac{12.0 rev/s}{-2.68 rev/s^2} =4.48 s

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​
gladu [14]

Answer:

Images formed by a convex mirror are always ​virtual

Explanation:

A virtual image is always created by a convex mirror, and it is always situated behind the mirror. The picture is vertical and situated at the focus point when the item is far away from the mirror. As the thing approaches the mirror, the image follows suit and increases until it reaches the same height as the object.

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

An overhead electric power line carries a maximum current of 125 A. What is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic field at a poi
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B:  magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to  4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla
