Answer
Given,
Revolution of wheel = 23 rev.
= 23 x 2π = 46 π
Time = 3 s
final angular velocity = 16 rad/s
angular acceleration of wheel = ?
Now, Calculating the initial angular speed of the wheel
Angular displacement =
(initial velocity + final velocity) x time.
now, angular acceleration
Hence, the angular acceleration of wheel is negative means wheel is decelerating.
Answer:
– 21.4 rad/s²
Explanation:
number of turn, n = 23
angle turned, θ = n x 2π = 23 x 2 x π = 46 π rad
time, t = 3 s
final angular velocity, ω = 16 rad/s
Let the initial angular velocity is ωo.
Angular displacement = Average angular velocity x time
46π x 2 = (16 + ωo) x 3
ωo = 80.3 rad/s
Let α is the angular acceleration, by use of first equation of motion for rotational motion
16 = 80.3 + α x 3
α = – 21.4 rad/s²
The angular acceleration of the wheel is – 21.4 rad/s².
