Mary is an avid game show fan and one of the contestants on a popular game show. She spins the wheel and after 1.5 revolutions the wheel comes to rest on a space that has a $1500.00 prize. If the initial angular speed of the wheel is 3.25 rad/s, find the angle through which the wheel has turned when the angular speed is1.60 rad/s.

Unit answer in rev.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\theta =1.14\ rev[/tex]

Explanation:

given,

θ = 1.5 revolution

initial angular speed = ωi = 3.25 rad/s

final angular speed = ωf = 1.60 rad/s

angular acceleration of the particle

          [tex]\alpha = \dfrac{-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}[/tex]

          [tex]\alpha = \dfrac{-3.25^2}{2\times 1.5 \times 2\pi\ rad}[/tex]

          [tex]\alpha =-0.56\ rad/s^2[/tex]

Angular displacement of the wheel

using rotational formula to calculate displacement

[tex]\theta = \dfrac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \dfrac{1.60^2-3.25^2}{2\times (-0.56)}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =7.14\ rad[/tex]

[tex]\theta =7.14\times \dfrac{1}{2\pi}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =1.14\ rev[/tex]
