Angluar Velocity and Revolutions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of revolutions a blender blade makes when switching from high to low speed. The initial and final angular velocities are converted from RPM to radians per second, resulting in 324.6 rad/sec and 136.1 rad/sec, respectively. Using the angular acceleration formula, the acceleration is determined to be 89.8 rad/sec². The total angular displacement is calculated, yielding approximately 76.8 revolutions during the 2.1 seconds of deceleration. The calculations appear to be confirmed as correct.

Homework Statement


You switch a food blender from its high to its low setting; the blade speed drops from 3100 rpm to 1300 rpm in 2.1 s. How many revolutions does it make during this time?

Homework Equations


\omegai = \frac{3100 rpm * (2 * pi)}{60} = 324.6 rad/sec
\omegaf = \frac{1300 rpm * (2 * pi)}{60} = 136.1 rad/sec

\omegaf = \omegai + \alphat

\omegaf^{2} = \omegai^{2} + 2\alpha(\Delta\Theta)

The Attempt at a Solution



136.1 = 324.6 + 2.1 \alpha

\alpha = 89.8 rad/sec^{2}

136.1^{2} = 324.4^{2} + 2 * 89 (\Delta\Theta)

(\Delta\Theta) = 482.8 rad / (2 * pi) = 76.8 rev

Want to make sure if this is correct.

Looks good to me :)
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
