A Ferris wheel starts at rest and builds up to a final angular speed of 0.70 rad/s while rotating through an angular displacemen

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The average angular acceleration is 0.05 radians per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that Ferris wheel accelerates at constant rate, the angular acceleration as a function of change in angular position and the squared final and initial angular velocities can be clear from the following expression:

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ , $\omega$ - Initial and final angular velocities, measured in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

$\theta_{o}$ , $\theta$ - Initial and final angular position, measured in radians.

Then,

$\alpha = \frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})}$

Given that $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0.70\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\theta-\theta_{o} = 4.9\,rad$ , the angular acceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{\left(0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(4.9\,rad\right)}$

$\alpha = 0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time needed to accelerate the Ferris wheel uniformly is described by this kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

Where $t$ is the time measured in seconds.

The time is cleared and obtain after replacing every value:

$t = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{\alpha}$

If $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0.70\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\alpha = 0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , the required time is:

$t = \frac{0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 14\,s$

Average angular acceleration is obtained by dividing the difference between final and initial angular velocities by the time found in the previous step. That is:

$\bar \alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

If $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0.70\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 14\,s$ , the average angular acceleration is:

$\bar \alpha = \frac{0.70\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{14\,s}$

$\bar \alpha = 0.05\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The average angular acceleration is 0.05 radians per square second.

How can we produce energy by turning a turbine?

maw [93]

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
