The tires of a car make 75 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 95 km/h to 55 km/h. The tires have a diameter of 0.80 m. (a) What was the angular acceleration of the tires? If the car continues to decelerate at this rate, (b) how much more time is required for it to stop, and (c) how far does it go?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The results for parts (a), (b), and (c) are\( - 3.1\;{\rm{rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\), \(12.2\,{\rm{s}}\), and \(282.4\;{\rm{m}}\),respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The number of revolutions is\(\theta = 75\;{\rm{rev}}\).

The initial speed of the car is\({v_1} = 95\;{\rm{km/h}}\).

The final speed of the car is\({v_2} = 55\;{\rm{km/h}}\).

The diameter of the tire is\(D = 0.80\;{\rm{m}}\).

02

Understanding angular velocity

In this problem, first, the angular velocity of the wheel needs to be calculated by dividing the linear velocity with time. Thereafter, the equation of kinematics needs to be used to evaluate the angular acceleration.

03

Determine the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration can be calculated as:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}\alpha &= \frac{{{\omega _2}^2 - {\omega _1}^2}}{{2\theta }}\\\alpha &= \frac{{{v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2}}{{2\theta {r^2}}}\\\alpha &= \frac{{{v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2}}{{2\theta {{\left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)}^2}}}\end{aligned}\)

On plugging the values in the above relation, you get:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}\alpha &= \left( {\frac{{{{\left( {55\;{\rm{km/h}}} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {95\;{\rm{km/h}}} \right)}^2}{{\left( {\frac{{1\;{\rm{m/s}}}}{{3.6\;{\rm{km/h}}}}} \right)}^2}}}{{2\left( {75\;{\rm{rev}} \times \frac{{2\pi \;{\rm{rad}}}}{{1\;{\rm{rev}}}}} \right){{\left( {\frac{{0.8\;{\rm{m}}}}{2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)\\\alpha &= - 3.1\;{\rm{rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, \(\alpha = - 3.1\;{\rm{rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\) is the required angular acceleration.

04

Determine the time to stop the car

The relation to obtain the required time is given by:

\(t = \frac{{\omega - {\omega _0}}}{\alpha }\)

Here, \({\omega _0}\) and \(\omega \) are the initial and final angular velocities, where the final angular velocity is equal to zero.

On plugging the values in the above relation, you get:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}t &= \frac{{0 - {v_2}}}{{\alpha r}}\\t &= - \frac{{{v_2}}}{{\alpha \left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)}}\\t &= - \left( {\frac{{\left( {55\;{\rm{km/h}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{1\;{\rm{m/s}}}}{{3.6\;{\rm{km/h}}}}} \right)}}{{\left( { - 3.1\;{\rm{rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( {\frac{{0.8\;{\rm{m}}}}{2}} \right)}}} \right)\\t = 12.2\,{\rm{s}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, \(t = 12.2\,{\rm{s}}\) is the required time.

05

Determine the total angular displacement

The relation to obtain the required time is given by:

\({\omega ^2} = {\omega _0}^2 + 2\alpha \Delta \theta \)

On plugging the values in the above relation, you get:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{\left( 0 \right)^2} &= {\left( {\frac{{{v_2}}}{{\left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)}}} \right)^2} + 2\alpha \Delta \theta \\\Delta \theta &= \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{\left( {55\;{\rm{km/h}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{1\;{\rm{m/s}}}}{{3.6\;{\rm{km/h}}}}} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{{0.8\;{\rm{m}}}}{2}} \right)}}} \right)}^2}}}{{2\left( { - 3.1\;{\rm{rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}\\\Delta \theta &= 235.2\;{\rm{rad}}\end{aligned}\)

06

Determine the total distance

The relation to obtain the distance traveled by the car is given by:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{d_1} &= r\Delta \theta \\{d_1} &= \left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)\Delta \theta \\{d_1} &= \left( {\frac{{0.8\;{\rm{m}}}}{2}} \right)\left( {235.2\;{\rm{rad}}} \right)\\{d_1} &= 94.08\;{\rm{m}}\end{aligned}\)

The relation to obtain the distance covered by the car during 75 revolutions is given by:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{d_2} &= r\theta \\{d_2} &= \left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)\theta \\{d_2} &= \left( {\frac{{0.8\;{\rm{m}}}}{2}} \right)\left( {75\;{\rm{rev}} \times \frac{{2\pi \;{\rm{rad}}}}{{1\;{\rm{rev}}}}} \right)\\{d_2} &= 188.4\;{\rm{m}}\end{aligned}\)

The total distance traveled by the car is calculated as:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{d_{{\rm{total}}}} &= {d_1} + {d_2}\\{d_{{\rm{total}}}} &= \left( {94.08\;{\rm{m}}} \right) + \left( {188.4\;{\rm{m}}} \right)\\{d_{{\rm{total}}}} &= 282.4\;{\rm{m}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, \({d_{{\rm{total}}}} = 282.4\;{\rm{m}}\) is the total distance.

The solid dot shown in Fig. 8–36 is a pivot point. The board can rotate about the pivot. Which force shown exerts the largest magnitude torque on the board?

FIGURE 8-36MisConceptual Question 4.

Suppose David puts a 0.60-kg rock into a sling of length 1.5 m and begins whirling the rock in a nearly horizontal circle, accelerating it from rest to a rate of 75 rpm after 5.0 s. What is the torque required to achieve this feat, and where does the torque come from?

In traveling to the Moon, astronauts aboard the Apollo spacecraft put the spacecraft into a slow rotation to distribute the Sun’s energy evenly (so one side would not become too hot). At the start of their trip, they accelerated from no rotation to 1.0 revolution every minute during a 12-min time interval. Think of the spacecraft as a cylinder with a diameter of 8.5 m rotating about its cylindrical axis. Determine (a) the angular acceleration, and (b) the radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration of a point on the skin of the ship 6.0 min after it started this acceleration.

A softball player swings a bat, accelerating it from rest to 2.6 rev/s in a time of 0.20 s. Approximate the bat as a 0.90-kg uniform rod of length 0.95 m, and compute the torque the player applies to one end of it.

A uniform rod of mass M and length l can pivot freely (i.e., we ignore friction) about a hinge attached to a wall, as in Fig. 8–63. The rod is held horizontally and then released. At the moment of release, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the rod, and (b) the linear acceleration of the tip of the rod. Assume that the force of gravity acts at the center of mass of the rod, as shown. [Hint: See Fig. 8–20g.]
