    Torque v. Time Graph -- Find angular velocity

    By integrating angular acceleration with respect to time, I get w= at + c (constant). a= 0 t=2.8s but how do I determine the constant? Which will equal the velocity

    Torque v. Time Graph -- Find angular velocity

    Homework Statement An object whose moment of inertia is 3.00kgm2experiences the torque shown in the figure (Figure 1) . What is the object's angular velocity at 2.80s ? Assume it starts from rest. http://session.masteringphysics.com/problemAsset/1073771/4/knight_Figure_13_21.jpg Homework...

    Calculating Velocity after Skateboard Jump - A Physics Problem

    Homework Statement Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 3.00m/s . He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 6.00m/s (as measured by an observer on the ground). Dan's mass is 40.0kg and the skateboard's mass is 5.00kg . How fast is Dan going as his feet hit...
