The problem involves a computer disk that starts from rest and experiences constant angular acceleration. The specific question is about the time taken for the disk to complete its first revolution, given that it takes 0.570 seconds for the second complete revolution.
Participants are engaging with the original poster's attempts, with one member reminding them to follow the homework template and encouraging them to show more effort. Another participant suggests a potential approach to relate angular displacement and acceleration, indicating a direction for further exploration.
There is a mention of the need for the original poster to demonstrate their understanding and effort in solving the problem, which is a requirement of the forum. The discussion also highlights the challenge of assuming certain values without further justification.
beanieb said:Well I know the inital velocity is zero (starting from rest) and the time is given. Converting 2 revs to rads is 12.57. So it completes 12.57 rads in 0.570s. I am also aware that ang accel = ang vel/time. I am just going around in circles trying to work it out. I was fairly sure it was wrong to assume speed is 22rad/s. (12.57/.570). Sorry if that's not enough but I am totally lost. First post so I wasnt sure what to put up
