Angular acceleration Definition and 552 Threads

Today in my physics lecture we looked at the conservation of angular momentum. I dont understand the iceskater example: If an iceskater pulls their limbs together while they are spinning, they speed up. At first I thought I understand the math behind it but the more I think about the math the...

Supposing L = 6m, m = 30kg, M = 70kg, h = 2m. Also set the origin at the leftmost edge of the plank. Free body diagram description: The center of mass of the plank is at ##\frac{L}{2}##, so considering it as a point mass, it feels the force of gravity ##F_m = mg##. The person is at some point...

I tried to multiply 1/8 g (1.22625) by the radius (1.25 m) and got 1.53 rad/s^2. This is actually the linear acceleration of the elevator. How do I get the angular acceleration of the disk? Thanks!

v=1.00*8=>v=8 rad/s ar=>100*8^2=>ar=64 rad/s^2 at=1.00*4=>at=4 rad/s^2 The only question I have is ar=-64 rad/s^2, not 64 rad/s^2 as I calculated. I believe this is because the wheel is accelerating in a clockwise direction. However this is not indicated by the mathematical equation. How do I...

wfinal=98.0 rad/s, dt=3.00s w=(37 revs/3)=>w=(37 revs*(2*pi/1))/3=>w=77.493 a=(98-77.493)/3=>a=6.8357 My answer is exactly half of the correct answer. Where did I go wrong?

how do I know that both angular accelerations are the same for both wheels here? should I apply relative motion analysis for the acceleration at A(with ##a_x,A and a_y,A##) and B(with ##a_{x,B} and a_{y,B}##) here, or is just a_A=r*alpha_C and a_B = r*alpha_D enough from which a_A=a_B and thus...

I am not understanding how to even start the question

I am not understanding the 2nd part of the question where it is asked about how many revolutions will the blade make when it reaches full speed. Please help

So, my idea would be that this happens at an angle ##\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}##, or quarter of a whole rotation. At this point, the wheel starts moving right again, after going to the left. Due to it's inertia, the piece of mud would want to keep it's current direction of motion and therefore fall...

for (a) ##T=\frac {2\pi}{\omega}## $$\omega=\frac {2\pi}{T}$$ $$\frac{d \omega}{dt}=\frac {-2\pi}{T^2} \frac {dT}{dt} $$ $$\alpha=\frac {-2\pi}{(2.94*10^-15)^2} = 7.27*10^29 rad/s^2$$ for (b) I'm understand that it's infinity, because the period is increasing indefinitely, so it's slowing...

I calculate the gravity force F = mg = (-9806.6)*(5.26e-1) = -5158 (mm^2*kg)/s^2 I get the moment M = F*r = (-3.5e5)*(-6.81e1) = 3.5e5 (mm^2 * kg) / s^2 Where r is the y coordinate distance from origin to centroid J = (Ix'...

Hello, I am trying to solve a problem involving a mass with known moment of inertia about an axis with a lever arm at angle theta and length r with a non-constant spring force acting at the tip of the lever arm and fixed distance away from the axis of rotation. I am wondering what the best...

So I tried the problem and it’s different from the solution. I’m confused on why my attempt didn’t work, is it because the wheel is undergoing general planar motion? I tried to just apply Newton’s 2nd law to find the acceleration of the centre and then use that to find angular acceleration. The...

The answer here is A What i did is getting the area as follows, 2×4×1/2 +3×-6×1/2 +4×-6 = -29 and then use this Δω=ωf-ωi -29=ωf-5 ωf=24 but there is no such choice.

I have trouble solving this problem any help would be appreciated.Problem statement ##J=\frac{mr^2}{2}## a) Determine the motion of yoyos for ##n=1,2,3## The case for ##n=1## is simple, however, I am having trouble with ##n=2## and ##n=3##. for ##n=2## I started by drawing all the forces...

So I first tried to find L using torque, Torque=d/dt*L, and took the integral of this. Ended up with 23.28484t Now I square the equation L=rotation rate*I to get L^2=rotation acceleration *I^2 Angular acceleration=L^2/I^2 I feel like I am doing something wrong though, this doesn't give the...

##\tau## = 0.5*mg ##\alpha##= (0.5mg)/##mr^2## This is what I'm finding difficult to understand, if a particle is in linear translation, how can it have angular acceleration. If by calculation, angular acceleration is non-zero, then shouldn't the body must move in a circular path with...

Okay so I actually have the answer because my teacher basically just gave it to me, but I would really like to know why I was even wrong in the first place. Here's my steps: 1. Knowing the momentum transfer per unit area is described by: 1/A dp/dt = S/c. I can begin by relating some known...

Okay so what I've done; I've put the diammter d = 1m as r = 1m The time interval of 4s is t = 4s and the angular velocitys as; ω1 = 20 rad/s ω2 = 40 rad/s Now to get the accelaration. Angular acceleration can be split into two parts tangetial acceleration and radial acceleration What I...

Torque=225 Ncm Torque=α*0.35 kg.cm² α=225Ncm/0.35kg.cm² =225 kg.m/s²*cm/0.35kg.cm² =225*100/.35s² =64285.7/s² but the answer is wrong

I was watching the above video which is part of a series explaining the mechanics behind a gyroscope. In the video the author explains the mechanics of the gyroscope when stationary (the disc is not rotating). Here he derives a result that the angular acceleration is g/r which is non zero...

I have solved part a using the conservation of energy, getting a (correct) answer of 47.9 km/h, but I am unable to make headway with part b. Based on the flywheel rotating at 237rev/s when the car is moving at 86.5 km/h, I obtained omega = (237*2pi)v/24=62v. Differentiating both sides should...

Hi everyone I had this argument with someone told. About angular acceleration. His opinion: Since both pulleys are connected by a string then both of them must have the same angular acceleration. My opinion: Since a2 "acceleration of the second mass" is half a1. Then angular acceleration of the...

total moment of inertia= (1/2) (0.098kg) ( 0.144m)^2 + (1/2) (0.098kg) ( 0.144m)^2 + (1/2) (0.016kg) (0.01m)^2 total moment of inertia= 2.03*10^(-3) kgm^2 torque= 5.2N * (0.144m) = 0.75N*m thus: 0.75N*m= 2.03*10^(-3) kgm^2 * angular acceleration angular acceleration = 368.8 rad/s^2 Is...

I have the moment of inertia for the core(initial) and full body(final) but my answer for the moment of inertia for the arms(initial) was incorrect. Arms(initial) moment of inertia:(1/12)(6)(1.7^2)=1.445 this is incorrect for some reason Core(initial) moment of inertia: .9558 Full...

I believe I know that when an object, in terms of linear motion, accelerates, it is being resisted by inertia, thus creating so called fictitious forces. Now, that said, how does angular acceleration affect spinning objects like say, a gymnast, when they spin around the axis of rotation? Do they...

Both point A and B are moving in parallel in same direction, therefore rod is not rotating at this instance and angular acceleration is 0. Question states angular velocity is equal to zero. Plugging into Angular Acceleration"AB" = r*sqr(angular velocity"AB") = 0.26m* sqr(0) = 0 [Moderator's...

It seems to me that this transition implies going from kinetic friction to static friction. The kinetic friction would apply a torque that would slow down the object's angular velocity, but I'm not sure how this connects to the object suddenly transitioning into rotating without slipping.

As shown in figure there's a homogeneous solid sphere. It is rotating about axis which is passing through point P directed perpendicular to the plane of paper. (In short like a pendulum). I'm neglecting gravity and assuming a force F which is directed perpendicular to the string. (The string...

I used the above equations to solve for tension, torque, inertia, and angular acceleration. Are the formulas I used correct for the given system? How can I calculate Inertia from the trendline equation, I'm drawing a blank.

PART B ONLY: The cylinder undergoes torque when the mass m2 is removed: τNET = Iα = FNETr = 45α = FT(0.5) FT = 90α, therefore msystem = 90 kg After this step, I am not sure what to do. τ = ΣF = Fg - Ft = ma = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s2) - (90α) = 196 -...

My question is why isn't the radial component e→r of acceleration in cylindrical coords simply r'' ? If r'' is the rate at which the rate of change of position is changing in the radial direction, wouldn't that make it the radial acceleration? I.e, the acceleration of the radius is the...
