The driver of a car traveling at 22.8 m/s applies the brakes and undergoes a constant deceleration of 2.95 m/s 2 . How many revolutions does each tire make before the car comes to a stop, assuming that the car does not skid and that the tires have radii of 0.2 m? Answer in units of rev.

Respuesta :

Answer:

70 revolutions

Explanation:

We can start by the time it takes for the driver to come from 22.8m/s to full rest:

[tex] t = \Delta v/a = (22.8 - 0)/2.95 = 7.73 s[/tex]

The tire angular velocity before stopping is:

[tex] \omega_0 = v/r = 22.8 / 0.2 = 114 rad/s [/tex]

Also its angular decceleration:

[tex] \alpha = a / r = 2.95/0.2 = 14.75 rad/s^2[/tex]

Using the following equation motion we can findout the angle it makes during the deceleration:

[tex]\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta[/tex]

where [tex]\omega[/tex] = 0 m/s is the final angular velocity of the car when it stops, [tex]\omega_0[/tex] = 114rad/s is the initial angular velocity of the car [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 14.75 rad/s2 is the deceleration of the can, and [tex]\Delta \theta[/tex] is the angular distance traveled, which we care looking for:

[tex]-114^2 = 2*(-14.75)*\Delta \theta[/tex]

[tex]\Delta \theta = 440rad[/tex] or 440/2π = 70 revelutions
