In the first question, we have a wheel whose radius is 500 millimeters.
00:08
We need to divide this by 1000 to put it into meters, and you get 0 .5 meters.
00:13
It is rotating at an angular speed of 6 radians per second, and we want to find the linear speed.
00:21
So we're going to use the equation with tangential speed, which is our linear speed, is equal to angular speed times radius.
00:27
So this is a nice equation that combines the two.
00:31
So we have 6 times 0 .5, and that gives us 3 meters per second, which is your first option from your multiple choice section.
00:42
Okay, so the next one, we have a disc, and it has a radius of 200 meters.
00:47
It is rotating initially at 300 revolutions per minute.
00:54
Put that little initial symbol there, and that is 300 revolutions per minute.
01:00
For a minute, we need to have radians per second.
01:03
So let's convert.
01:04
One revolution is the same as 2 pi radians, and these will cancel out.
01:11
One minute is the same thing as 60 seconds.
01:15
So we are going to multiply by 2 and divide by pi, and you get 31 .42 radians per second.
01:24
We're told that it is coming to a stop with an acceleration, angular acceleration, of 2 radians per second squared.
01:36
So it's slowing down.
01:37
Let me write this down real quick.
01:40
Sorry.
01:40
It is slowing down, and so if we're going to leave this as positive, we need to have the acceleration as negative because it is in the opposite direction.
01:47
Slowing down means velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions.
01:53
So we want to know how many revolutions does it pass through while it's coming to a stop.
01:57
So this is going to be one of our constant angular acceleration equations.
02:00
So i'm going to use final angular acceleration squared is equal to initial angular acceleration speed.
02:08
Excuse me.
02:08
These are angular speeds.
02:10
So final angular speed squared is equal to initial angular speed squared plus 2 times angular acceleration times angular displacement.
02:19
Subtract initial angular speed on both sides, and then divide both sides by 2 in angular acceleration.
02:28
And so that'll give us our equation.
02:30
So angular displacement is equal to our final angular speed squared minus our initial, which was that 31 .42, and that is squared, all divided by 2 times our angular acceleration.
02:48
And so when we do that, we get about 246 .7 radians, but that's not what we want...
