Answer:

Approximately -1.58\; \rm rad \cdot s^{-2}.

Explanation:

This question suggests that the rotation of this object slows down "uniformly". Therefore, the angular acceleration of this object should be constant and smaller than zero.

This question does not provide any information about the time required for the rotation of this object to come to a stop. In linear motions with a constant acceleration, there's an SUVAT equation that does not involve time:

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a\, x,

where

  • v is the final velocity of the moving object,
  • u is the initial velocity of the moving object,
  • a is the (linear) acceleration of the moving object, and
  • x is the (linear) displacement of the object while its velocity changed from u to v.

The angular analogue of that equation will be:

(\omega(\text{final}))^2 - (\omega(\text{initial}))^2 = 2\, \alpha\, \theta, where

  • \omega(\text{final}) and \omega(\text{initial}) are the initial and final angular velocity of the rotating object,
  • \alpha is the angular acceleration of the moving object, and
  • \theta is the angular displacement of the object while its angular velocity changed from \omega(\text{initial}) to \omega(\text{final}).

For this object:

  • \omega(\text{final}) = 0\; \rm rad\cdot s^{-1}, whereas
  • \omega(\text{initial}) = 39.1\; \rm rad\cdot s^{-1}.

The question is asking for an angular acceleration with the unit \rm rad \cdot s^{-1}. However, the angular displacement from the question is described with the number of revolutions. Convert that to radians:

\begin{aligned}\theta &= 76.8\; \rm \text{revolution} \\ &= 76.8\;\text{revolution} \times 2\pi\; \rm rad \cdot \text{revolution}^{-1} \\ &= 153.6\pi\; \rm rad\end{aligned}.

Rearrange the equation (\omega(\text{final}))^2 - (\omega(\text{initial}))^2 = 2\, \alpha\, \theta and solve for \alpha:

\begin{aligned}\alpha &= \frac{(\omega(\text{final}))^2 - (\omega(\text{initial}))^2}{2\, \theta} \\ &= \frac{-\left(39.1\; \rm rad \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2}{2\times 153.6\pi\; \rm rad} \approx -1.58\; \rm rad \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

What is Newton’s second law of motion
ddd [48]

"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way.  So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"<em>F = m·A.</em>  The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.

When a object slows down what direction is the force going?
trapecia [35]

Answer: when a object gets slowed down, it's force is either going into friction and drag, if it's on the ground, and weight+drag+friction, if it's in the air.

Which describes a feature of the physical changes of all substances?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

A change in size, shape, or matter.

Explanation:

A physical change does not produce new substances. A physical change may only change the physical properties of a substance. a change in size, shape, or phase of matter.
