The angular speed of an automobile engine is increased at a constant rate from 1200revmin to3000revmin in 12s. (a) What is its angular acceleration in revolutions per minute-squared? (b) How many revolutions does the engine make during this12s interval?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The angular acceleration in revolutions per minute-squared is 9×103revmin2.

(b) Engine made 4.2×102revolutions.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities:

Initial angular speed,Ӭ0=1200 revmin

Final angular speed, Ӭ=3000 revmin

Time,t=12 s

02

Understanding the relation between angular acceleration and torque:

The problem deals with the calculation of angular acceleration. It is the time rate of change of angular velocity. Also, it involves kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration.

Formulae:

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αt ..... (i)

θ=12(Ӭ0+Ӭ)t ..... (ii)

Here, αis the angular acceleration.

03

(a) The angular acceleration in revolutions per minute-squared:

Here, assuming the rotation is positive. Thus, using equation (i),

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtα=Ӭ-Ӭ0t

Substitute given values in the above equation.

α=3000 revmin-1200 revmin12s60min=9×103revmin2

04

(b) To calculate revolution that engine does during the interval of 12 s:

Using equation (ii) you can find the revolution as below.

θ=12(Ó¬0+Ó¬)t=121200rev+3000 r±ð±¹min1260min=4.2×102rev

Hence, the revolution of an engine is4.2×102rev.

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end just before it hits the floor, assuming that the end on the floor does not slip.

In the overhead view of Fig. 10 - 24, five forces of the same magnitude act on a strange merry-go-round; it is a square that can rotate about point P, at mid-length along one of the edges. Rank the forces according to the magnitude of the torque they create about point P, greatest first.

In Fig.10-41, two blocks, of mass m1=400gandm2=600g, are connected by a massless cord that is wrapped around a uniform disk of massM=500gand radius R=12.0cm. The disk can rotate without friction about a fixed horizontal axis through its centre; the cord cannot slip on the disk. The system is released from rest. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the tension in the cord at the left, and (c) the tensionT2in the cord at the right.

An object rotates about a fixed axis, and the angular position of a reference line on the object is given by,θ=0.40e2twhere θis in radians and tis in seconds. Consider a point on the object that is 4.0cmfrom the axis of rotation. Att=0 s , what are the magnitudes of the point’s

(a) tangential component of acceleration and

(b) radial component of acceleration?

Figure 10-32 shows an early method of measuring the speed of light that makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the slots at the outside edge of the wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has a radius of 5.0 cm and 500 slots around its edge. Measurements taken when the mirror is from the wheel indicate a speed of light of3.0×105kms . (a) What is the (constant) angular speed of the wheel? (b) What is the linear speed of a point on the edge of the wheel?
