An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 500 rev/min to 200 rev/min in 4.00 s.
1 answer:
Answer:
a) -1.25 rev/s² and 23.3 rev
b) 2.67s
Explanation:
a) ω = (500 rev/min)(1min/ 60s) => 8.333 rev/s
ω= (200 rev/min)(1min/ 60s) => 3.333rev/s
time 't'= 4 s
angular acceleration 'α'=?
constant angular acceleration equation is given by,
ω= ω
+ α
t
α= (ω
- ω
)/t => (3.333-8.333)/4
α= -1.25 rev/s²
θ-θ = ω
t + 1/2α
t²
=(8.333)(4) + 1/2 (-1.25)(4)²
=23.3 rev
b) ω=0 (comes to rest)
ω = 3.333 rev/s
α= -1.25 rev/s²
ω= ω
+ α
t
t= (ω - ω
)/α
=> (0- 3.333)/-1.25
t= 2.67s

Answer:
Vi = 32 [m/s]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use the following the two following kinematics equations.
The negative sign of the second term of the equation means that the velocity decreases, as indicated in the problem.
where:
Vf = final velocity = 8[m/s]
Vi = initial velocity [m/s]
a = acceleration = [m/s^2]
t = time = 5 [s]
Now replacing:
8 = Vi - 5*a
Vi = (8 + 5*a)
As we can see we have two unknowns the initial velocity and the acceleration, so we must use a second kinematics equation.
where:
d = distance = 100[m]
(8^2) = (8 + 5*a)^2 - (2*a*100)
64 = (64 + 80*a + 25*a^2) - 200*a
0 = 80*a - 200*a + 25*a^2
0 = - 120*a + 25*a^2
0 = 25*a(a - 4.8)
therefore:
a = 0 or a = 4.8 [m/s^2]
We choose the value of 4.8 as the acceleration value, since the zero value would not apply.
Returning to the first equation:
8 = Vi - (4.8*5)
Vi = 32 [m/s]
