I'm having problems with parts b and c...
At time t= 0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 22.0 rad/s . It has a constant angular acceleration of 26.0 rad/s^2 until a circuit breaker trips at time t= 2.30 s . From then on, the wheel turns through an angle of 436 rad as it coasts to a stop at constant angular deceleration.
a. Through what total angle did the wheel turn between and the time it stopped?
Express your answer in radians.
\Delta \Theta = 13t^2 + 22t at t=2.3s is 119.4rad
Therefore total angle is 119 + 436 = 555rad
b. At what time does the wheel stop?
Express your answer in seconds.
So I know that \omega_{f} = 0 for the wheel to stop
\omega_{i} = 22.0 rad/s
That's as much as I understand...
c. What was the wheel's angular acceleration as it slowed down?
Express your answer in radians per second per second.
Would I use this equation \omega_{f} = \omega_{i} + \alpha t
and just solve for \alpha?
[tex] \omega_{f} = 0
\omega_{i} = 22.0
t = time solved in part b [\tex]
