    Can a rotor ever come to a complete stop with a negative angular acceleration?

    I just integrated my angular velocity equation to get the angle equation and turns out as t goes to infinite theta goes to 222 revs. I put in my answer that the rotor never comes to rest so technically i am correct and it never actually reaches 222 revs so technically he is incorrect. I think I...

    Can a rotor ever come to a complete stop with a negative angular acceleration?

    Yea your right that was a dumb assumption. It could possibly converge on a specific angle as t goes to infinite. So does it converge on 222 revs as t goes to infinite?

    Can a rotor ever come to a complete stop with a negative angular acceleration?

    I just got done taking a test and on of the problems read: A rotor is turning at 200 rpm and has an angular acceleration of -0.015w rads/s^2. How many seconds before the rotor is at 200rpm. How many revolutions before the rotor comes to rest. Here is my method for solving: w initial = 200rpm...
