Angular Circular Deceleration

Click For Summary

The discussion revolves around calculating the angular deceleration of a circular saw blade. A participant initially used a formula that resulted in an incorrect value of 0.399 instead of the expected 7.88 rad/s². Clarification was sought regarding the value of angular velocity (w) used in the calculation. It was confirmed that the angular velocity was given in revolutions per second, which may have contributed to the confusion. Accurate conversion of units is essential for correct calculations in angular motion.

Homework Statement: If a circular saw blade is spinning at a rate of 6.57 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the (constant) angular acceleration that needs to be applied on the saw blade to bring it to rest in 17.2 revolutions?

Relevant Equations: theta = no of revs * 2pi
w^2=2a(theta)

I tried the formula I showed up there but got 0.399 instead of 7.88rad/s^2.

Yup, it is given in revolutions per second.

Thread 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?
