A 70 cm diameter wheel accelerates uniformly about its center from 130 rpm to 280 rpm in 4.0 s. determine (a) its angular acceleration, and (b) the radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration of a point on the edge of the wheel 2.0 s after it has started accelerating

Respuesta :

Part a)

as we know that angular speed is given as

[tex]\omega = 2 \pi f[/tex]

here we have

[tex]f_2 = 280 rpm = 4.67Hz[/tex]

[tex]f_1 = 130 rpm = 2.17 Hz[/tex]

now for angular acceleration we have

[tex]\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = \frac{2\pi(f_2 - f_1)}{\Delta t}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = \frac{2\pi(4.67 - 2.17)}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 3.93 rad/s^2[/tex]

Part b)

angular speed of the wheel after t = 2 s

[tex]\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t[/tex]

[tex]\omega_f = 2\pi (2.17) + 3.93 (2)[/tex]

[tex]\omega_f = 21.5 rad/s[/tex]

now we have

tangential acceleration

[tex]a_t = r \alpha[/tex]

[tex]a_t = 0.70(3.93) = 2.75 m/s^2[/tex]

radial acceleration will be

[tex]a_r = \omega^2 r[/tex]

[tex]a_r = (21.5)^2(0.70) = 323.6 m/s^2[/tex]

A) Angular acceleration = 3.93 rad/s²

B) i) Tangential components = 2.75 m/s²

   ii) Radial components = 323.6 m/s²

Given data :

Diameter of wheel = 70 cm = 0.7 m

Initial angular frequency ( f₁ ) = 130 rpm = 2.17 Hz

Final angular frequency ( f₂ ) = 280 rpm = 4.67 Hz

Time  ( T ) = 4 secs

A) Calculate the angular acceleration

Angular acceleration ( ∝ )  =  Δω / ΔT

                                             = 15.71 / 4  = 3.93 rad/s²

where : Δω = 2π ( f₂ - f₁ ) = 2π ( 4.67 - 2.17 ) = 15.71

         change in time ( ΔT ) = 4 secs

B) Determine the radial and tangential components of the linear acceleration after 2 secs

First step : calculate the angular speed after 2 secs

ωf = ωf₁ + t

    = 2π ( 2.17 ) + 3.93 * 2

    = 21.5 rad/sec

Final step :

i) Tangential acceleration

 at = r∝

 at = 0.70 ( 3.93 ) = 2.75 m/s²

ii ) Radial acceleration

  ar = ω²r

      = ( 21.5 )² * ( 0.70 )  = 323.6 m/s²

Hence we can conclude that A) Angular acceleration = 3.93 rad/s²

B) i) Tangential components = 2.75 m/s², ii) Radial components = 323.6 m/s²
