A flywheel with a diameter of1.20 m is rotating at an angular speed of 200 revmin.

(a) What is the angular speed of the flywheel in radians per second?

(b) What is the linear speed of a point on the rim of the flywheel?

(c) What constant angular acceleration (in revolutions per minute-squared) will increase the wheel’s angular speed to 1000 revminin60.0 s ?

(d) How many revolutions does the wheel make during that60.0 s ?

Short Answer

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

  1. The initial angular speed of the flywheel isÓ¬0=200revmin .
  2. The diameter of flywheel is d=1.20 m.
  3. The final angular speed aftert=60 sis1000revmin.
  4. The time for which the flywheel accelerates t is 60 s.

Concept and Formula used for the given equation

The flywheel exhibits rotational motion about an axis passing through its axel. Hence, we can determine its angular speed, acceleration and linear speed of the points on its rim using rotational kinematic equations which are given as follows.

Ӭ=dθdtv=rӬӬ=Ӭ0+αtθ-θ0=12Ӭ+Ӭ0t

(a) Calculation for the angular speed of the flywheel in radians per second

The initial angular velocity is given in the units of revolution/min. we will change the units to rad/s to gettherequired value.

Ӭ=200revmin=200revmin×2π rad1 rev×1 min60.0 s=6.66πradsӬ=20.9rads

Hence the angular speed is 20.9 rads, .

Step 3: (b) Calculation for thelinear speed of a point on the rim of the flywheel

We are given the diameter of the flywheel, so first we calculate the radius as

r=d2=1.20 m2r=0.60 m

Hence, we calculate linear velocity using the value of angular velocity as

v=rÓ¬

Substitute all the value in the above equation

v=0.60 ³¾Ã—20.9radsv=12.5ms

Hence the linear speed is, 12.5 ms.

(c) Calculation for the constant angular acceleration to increase the wheel’s angular speed

The flywheel accelerates from initial angular speed to final angular speed of1000 revminTo determine the angular acceleration of the flywheel in this duration, we use the rotational kinematic equation.

Since the answer is expected in the units of revmin2 , we use Ӭ0 in the units of and time t=60.0 s=1 min.

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtα=Ӭ-Ӭ0t

Substitute all the value in the above equation

α=1000revmin-200revmin1 minα=800revmin2

Hence the angular acceleration is, .

05

(d) Calculation for the number of revolutions the wheel makes during that 60 s

The number of revolutions in this time interval can be calculated using the rotational kinematic equation.

θ-θ0=12Ӭ+Ӭ0t

We assumen=θ-θ0from start of the interval

We also use the values of initial and final angular speeds in the units of rev/min

Substitute all the value in the above equation

n=121000revmin+200revmin×1 min=600 rev

Hence the number of revolution is, 600 rev.

Two uniform solid spheres have the same mass of1.65 kg, but one has a radius of0.226 mand the other has a radius of. Each can rotate about an axis through its center. (a) What is the magnitudeof the torque required to bring the smaller sphere from rest to an angular speed of317 rad/sin15.5 s? (b) What is the magnitudeof the force that must be applied tangentially at the sphere’s equator to give that torque? What are the corresponding values of (c)τand (d)for the larger sphere?

Cheetahs running at top speed have been reported at an astounding114 k³¾/³ó(about71″¾¾±/³ó) by observers driving alongside the animals. Imagine trying to measure a cheetah’s speed by keeping your vehicle abreast of the animal while also glancing at your speedometer, which is registering114 k³¾/³ó. You keep the vehicle a constantfrom the cheetah, but the noise of the vehicle causes the cheetah to continuously veer away from you along a circular path of radius92″¾. Thus, you travel along a circular path of radius.100″¾ (a) What is the angular speed of you and the cheetah around the circular paths? (b) What is the linear speed of the cheetah along its path? (If you did not account for the circular motion, you would conclude erroneously that the cheetah’s speed is114 k³¾/³ó, and that type of error was apparently made in the published reports.)

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.
