Question

A wheel with radius 30 cm is rotating at a rate of 10 rev/s. At t = 10 s the angular speed begins to increase at a rate of 1.4 rad/s/s. At t = 15 s, what is the angular speed in radians per second?

Step 1
1 of 2

Identify the unknown:\underline{\text{Identify the unknown:}}

The final angular speed

List the Knowns:\underline{\text{List the Knowns:}}

From part (a), initial angular speed: ωi=62.83  rad/s\omega_i= 62.83 \;\mathrm{rad/s}

Angular acceleration: α=1.4  rad/s2\alpha= 1.4 \;\mathrm{rad/s^2}

Time interval: Δt=1510=5  s\Delta t= 15 - 10 = 5 \;\mathrm{s}

Set Up the Problem:\underline{\text{Set Up the Problem:}}

The angular acceleration:

α=ΔωΔt=ωfωiΔt\alpha = \dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

ωf=ωi+(αΔt)\omega_f = \omega_i + (\alpha \Delta t)

Solve the Problem:\underline{\text{Solve the Problem:}}

ωf=62.83+(1.4×5)=69.83  rad/s\omega_f = 62.83 + (1.4 \times 5) = \boxed{69.83 \;\mathrm{rad/s}}
