The angular speed of a propeller on a boat increases with constant acceleration from 12. 4 rad/s to 29. 9 rad/s in 2. 60 revolutions. What is the acceleration of the propeller?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is 22.66 rad/s².

Judging by the data delivered corresponding to the change of speeds and the number of revolutions, it is possible to complement the question by deducing that the angular acceleration is sought. Then to solve this problem we will apply the kinematic equations of angular motion, for which the square of the velocity change is described, in proportion to twice the product between the angular acceleration and the angle. That is to say,

([tex]\omega_{f}[/tex])² - ([tex]\omega_{i}[/tex])² = 2αθ

Where,

[tex]\omega_{f}[/tex] = Final angular velocity

[tex]\omega_{i}[/tex] = Initial angular velocity

α= Angular acceleration

θ = Angular displacement

Now convert the revolutions in radians we have,

θ = 2.6 rev [tex](\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})[/tex]

θ = 16.33 rad

Replacing and solving to find angular acceleration we have

[tex](\omega_{f})^{2}[/tex] - [tex](\omega_{i})^{2}[/tex] = 2αθ

α = [tex](\omega_{f})^{2}[/tex] - [tex](\omega_{i})^{2}[/tex] / 2θ

α = {(29.9)² - (12.4)²} / 2 * 16.33

α or angular acceleration = 22.66 rad/s²

Therefore the angular acceleration of the propeller is 22.66 rad/s².
