Angular Acceleration Homework: 1014.65°, 17.97 rad/s

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics homework problem involving a wheel rotating with constant angular acceleration. The calculations show that the wheel rotates an angle of 1014.65 degrees between t=0 and t=3.67 seconds, and its angular speed at 4.1 seconds is 17.97 rad/s. Some participants question the correctness of the initial calculations, specifically regarding the need to square the time variable in the angular displacement formula. There is also confusion about tangential and total acceleration values, suggesting a possible mix-up with a different problem. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly applying formulas in angular motion problems.

Homework Statement


wheel rotates w constant acceleration 3.65rad/s2
angular speed is 3.00 rad/s at t=0
a)what angle does wheel rotate between t=0 and t=3.67s?
b)what is angular speed of wheel at 4.1s?


Homework Equations


wt+1/2alphat
(3.00rad/s)(3.67t)+1/2(3.65rad/s2)(3.67)2=17.70rad
17.70rad*360degrees/628rad=1014.65degrees

w=w0+alpha t
3.00rad/s+3.65rad/s2(4.1s)=17.97rad/s

The Attempt at a Solution


a=1014.65 degrees
b=17.97rad/s

I don't believe this is correct. The final t needs to be squared:

<br /> \Delta\theta = \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2<br />

Ok how is 1.60 m/s^2 for tangential and 8.61 m/s^2 for total acceleration?

Is this for a different problem, or is there more to the problem in your first post?
 
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 .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
