A rotating fan completes 1200revolutions every minute. Consider the tip of a blade, at a radius of 0.15 m. (a)Through what distance does the tip move in one revolution? What are (b) the tip’s speed and (c) the magnitude of its acceleration? (d) What is the period of the motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The distance travelled by the tip in one revolution is 0.94m
  2. The speed of tip during revolution is 19 m/s
  3. Magnitude of tip’s acceleration is 2,4×103m/s2
  4. Period of motion is 0.05s .

Step by step solution

01

Given

The frequency of fan is 1200 revolutions per minute.

Distance of center of axis and tip’s blade is r = 0.15 m.

02

Understanding the concept

It is given that the fan completes certain revolutions in a particular time with the given radius of the blade. So, we have to find the distance covered by the blade in one revolution. The speed and acceleration of tip can be found by using simple formulae.

Formulae:

Circumferenceofcircle,C=2ττrvelocity=distancetimeAcceleration,a=v2rfrequency=1time

03

(a) Calculate the distance covered by tip of fan in one revolution

Let’s take the radius of the circle for calculating the distance covered by the tip of fan in one revolution.

Tip of the fan covers the distance equal to its circumference in its revolution.

So, the circumference of the circle is

C=2ττr=2(3.14)(0.15m)=0.94m

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 0.94m.

 Step 4: (b) Calculatethe speed of the tip

We are giventhefrequency ofthefan, so we can find out its time. By using this value, we find its speed

Frequency=1timetime=1frequency=11200rev/min×60s=0.05s

Now we can usevelocity=distancetimeto find velocity.

velocity=distancetime=0.94m0.05s=18.8m/s

Therefore, the velocity is 18.8 m/s.

05

(c) Calculate the magnitude of acceleration.

As the motion is circular, theobject has centripetal acceleration and is given by

a=v2r=(18.8m/s)20.15m=2.356×103m/s2≈2.4×103m/s2

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the fan is equal to 2.4×103m/s2.

06

(d) Calculate the time period of motion.

We are giventhefrequency ofthefan, so we can find out its time. By using this value, we find its speed

Frequency=1timetime=1frequency=11200×60s=0.05s

Therefore, the time period of motion is 0.05 s.

In basketball, hang is an illusion in which a player seems to weaken the gravitational acceleration while in mid-air. The illusion depends much on a skilled player’s ability to rapidly shift the ball between hands during the flight, but it might also be supported by the longer horizontal distance the player travels in the upper part of the jump than in the lower part. If a player jumps with an initial speed ofvo=7.00m/sat an angle of θo=35.0°, what percent of the jump’s range does the player spend in the upper half of the jump (between maximum height and half maximum height)?

A projectile is fired with an initial speed v0=30.0m/sfrom level ground at a target that is on the ground, at distance R=20.0m, as shown in Fig. 4-59. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest launch angles that will allow the projectile to hit the target?

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the spike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height of2.30mwith an initial speed oflocalid="1654581187572" 20.0m/sat a downward angle oflocalid="1654581198810" 18.00°. How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead,localid="1654581212383" 8.00°?

A person walks up a stalled 15mlong escalator in90s.When standing on the same escalator, now moving, the person is carried up in60s. How much time would it take that person to walk up the moving escalator? Does the answer depend on the length of the escalator?
