Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Given that the angular acceleration is not constant.

02

Concept/Significance of rotational kinetic energy

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is given by,

K=12IÓ¬2

Here, lis the moment of inertia, andÓ¬is the angular velocity of body.

03

Determine the formula v=r ω is valid or not(a)

The equationv=rӬis obtained from differentiation of the equations=rθ.

Here, v is the linear velocity, r is the distance, s is the arc distance, andθis the angle.

The equations=rθ is valid for both inertial and accelerating frames of reference.

Here, it does not matter whether angular acceleration is constant or not. Hence, the equation v=rÓ¬is valid.

04

Determine the formula atan=r α is valid or not(b)

The tangential acceleration isatan=rα.

Here,αis the angular acceleration.

When an object moves along a curve, it possesses tangential acceleration irrespective of the rate of increase of the speed along the curve. Hence, the equation localid="1667973436097" atan=rαis valid.

05

Determine the formula ω=ω0+αt is valid or not(c)

he final angular velocity is given by,

Ӭ=Ӭ0+αt

Here, Ó¬0is the Initial angular velocity and t is the time.

The equation Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtis obtained by assuming angular acceleration of the object is constant.

Hence, the equation Ӭ=Ӭ0+αtis not valid.

06

Determine the formula a2tan is valid or not(d)

The tangential acceleration is given by,

atan=rÓ¬2

When an object moves along a circular path, it possesses centripetal acceleration irrespective of the rate of increase of the speed along the curve.

Hence, the equation atan=rÓ¬2is valid.

07

Determine the formula K=12Iω2 is valid or not(e)

The kinetic energy is given by,

K=12mv2

Here, m is mass.

The equationK=12mv2is obtained by using the equationsK=12mv2andv=rÓ¬.

K=12m(rÓ¬)2 =12mr2Ó¬2=12lÓ¬2

Sincev=rÓ¬is valid for any accelerationrole="math" localid="1663935915591" K=12lÓ¬2is valid as well.

Hence, the equation role="math" localid="1663935944634" K=12lÓ¬2is valid.

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equationxt=αt2-βt3 where role="math" localid="1655226337795" α=1.50 m/s2androle="math" localid="1655226362269" β=0.0500m/s2 . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/spasses you. When the rear of the bus 12 m ispast you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of0.960m/s2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?

A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher’s hand at a speed of 45.0m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the ball over a distance of1.50mand produced constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?
