Angular acceleration - Please check if this is correct and

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the angular acceleration of a car's tires as they decelerate from 90 km/h to 60 km/h over 85 revolutions. The user initially miscalculated the conversion from kilometers to meters, using 900 instead of the correct factor of 1000. After correcting this, they arrived at an angular acceleration of -1.605 rad/s², but another participant suggested a different value of -4.88 rad/s². Clarification on the conversion and calculations is sought to confirm the accuracy of these results. The thread highlights the importance of proper unit conversion in physics problems.

Homework Statement



Question:

Each of the tires of a car makes 85.0 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 90.0 km/h to 60.0 km/m, The tires have a diamater of .900m.

Find initial and final angular Velocities

Find the angular acceleration of tires in rad/s^2

My answers: Please tell me if that's right, because I have NO idea if its correct.

If I am interpreting your work correctly, you are changing the km to m by multiplying by 900 instead of by 1000.

I think that the rest is OK.
 


Oops lol

Where wherever I have 900, change to 1000 correct? Just to be sure :)

Because when I change that, I get -1.60 is that correct for this question?

Because someone told me they got -4.88 ?

I got angular acc = -1.605rad/sec^2.
 
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 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
