Question

A computer hard disk 8.0 cm in diameter is initially at rest. A small dot is painted on the edge of the disk. The disk accelerates at 610 rad/s2 for 12s, then coasts at a steady angular velocity for another 12s.
A. What is the speed of the dot at t = 1.0 s? 12m/s
B. Through how many revolutions has it turned?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 282.8 m/s

b) 13812 revolutions

Explanation:

a) The aceleration(a) is the angular velocity(w) divide by the time. The disk had cosated for 12 s in a constant angular velocity, so it will be:

a = w/t

610 = w/12

w = 7230 rad/s

The angular velocity is related by the linear velocity:

V = w*r, where r is the radius of the circumference ( r = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m)

V = 7230*0.04 = 292.8 m/s

b) The number of revolutions is the frequency (f) of the moviment, which is related to the angular velocity as:

w = 2π*f

f = w/2π

f = 7230/6.28

f = 1151 revolutions/s

So, the total revolutions (n) is 12 s was:

n = 12*1151 = 13812 revolutions

Answer 2

The speed of the dot is 282.8 m/s. The speed at which an object is moving in a circular path.

What is the Angular velocity?

The speed at which an object is moving in a circular path. The relation between Angular velocity and linear speed is,

$V = \omega r$

Where,

$V$ - linear speed

$\omega$$\omeng$ - Angular velocity

$r$ - radius = 8/2 cm = 0.04 m

First, calculate the angular velocity,

$\omega = at$

Where,

$a$ - aceeleration = $\bold {610 \ rad/s^2}$

$t$ - time = 12 s

So,

$\omega = 610 \times 12 \\\\\omega = 7230 \rm \ rad/s$

Put the values in the first formula,

V = 7230 \times 0.04

V = 282.8 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the dot is 282.8 m/s.
