Question
During a very quick stop, a car decelerates at 6.2 m/s2. Assume the forward motion of the car corresponds to a positive direction for the rotation of the tires (and that they do not slip on the pavement). Randomized Variables at = 6.2 m/s2 r = 0.275 m ω0 = 93 rad/s
a. What is the angular acceleration of its tires in rad/s2, assuming they have a radius of 0.275 m and do not slip on the pavement?
b. How many revolutions do the tires make before coming to rest, given their initial angular velocity is 93 rad/s ?
c. How long does the car take to stop completely in seconds?
d. What distance does the car travel in this time in meters?
e. What was the car’s initial speed in m/s?

Answer:
a)
b) 30.6 revolutions
c) 4.13 s
d) 52.9 m
e) 25.6 m/s
Explanation:
a)
The relationship between linear acceleration and angular acceleration for an object in circular motion is given by
where
is the linear acceleration
is the angular acceleration
r is the radius of the motion of the object
For the tires of the car in this problem, we have:
is the linear acceleration (the car is slowing down, so it is a deceleration, therefore the negative sign)
r = 0.275 m is the radius of the tires
Solving for , we find the angular acceleration:
b)
To solve this part of the problem, we can use the suvat equation for the rotational motion, in particular:
where:
is the final angular velocity
is the initial angular velocity
is the angular acceleration
is the angular displacement
Here we have:
(the tires come to a stop)
Solving for , we find the angular displacement:
And since 1 revolution = ,
c)
To solve this part, we can use another suvat equation:
where in this case, we have:
is the final angular velocity, since the tires come to a stop
is the initial angular velocity
is the angular acceleration
t is the time
Solving for t, we can find the time required for the tires (and the car) to sopt:
d)
The car travels with a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the distance it covers by using the suvat equations for linear motion:
where:
v = 0 is the final velocity of the car (zero since it comes to a stop)
t = 4.13 s is the time taken for the car to stop
is the deceleration for the car
s is the distance covered during this motion
Therefore, substituting all values and calculating s, we find the distance covered:
e)
The relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity for a rotational motion is given by
where
v is the linear velocity
is the angular speed
r is the radius of the circular motion
In this problem:
is the initial angular speed of the tires
r = 0.275 m is the radius of the tires
Therefore, the initial velocity of the car is:
is the initial velocity of the car
