Starting from rest, a wheel is uniformly accelerated at 4 rad/s^2...
Starting from rest, a wheel is uniformly accelerated at for seconds. Subsequently, it rotates uniformly for the next seconds, and is finally brought to rest over the following seconds. Determine the total angle rotated by the wheel.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The motion of the wheel can be divided into three phases.
In the first phase, the wheel starts from rest and accelerates uniformly.
Initial angular velocity,
Angular acceleration,
Time,
Angle rotated,
Angular velocity at the end of this phase,
In the second phase, the wheel rotates uniformly.
Angular velocity,
Time,
Angle rotated,
In the third phase, the wheel is brought to rest uniformly.
Initial angular velocity,
Final angular velocity,
Time,
Angle rotated,
Total angle rotated by the wheel is .
