Angular Velocity: Find Initial Velocity Given Acceleration & Displacement

Click For Summary
A wheel experiences a constant angular acceleration of π rad/s² and an angular displacement of π rad, with a final angular velocity of 2π rad/s. The challenge is to determine the initial angular velocity, given that the time interval is unknown. The relevant equation is w² = Wo² + 2αΔθ, which relates initial and final velocities, angular acceleration, and displacement. The discussion emphasizes the simplicity of the problem due to the constant acceleration. Participants express hope for easier exam questions in the future.

Homework Statement



a wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration pie rad/s^2. during a certain time interval its angular displacement is pie rad. at the end of the interval its angular velocity is 2pie rad/s. what is the angular velocity at the beginning of the interval?

Homework Equations



tried looking at the angular velocity/displacement/acceleraions equations but i don't know how to even begin this question.

The Attempt at a Solution



well i have to find the initial angular velocity and the time interval is also unknown.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In the problem angular acceleration, angular displacement and final velocity is given. Can you find an equation which contain initial velocity, final velocity, angular acceleration and angular displacement.
 
yes but it also has time, which is uknown.
 
Lol at U of M exam questions ;). This one's simple, the key is constant acceleration.

w^2 = Wo^2 +2(alpha)(deltatheta) should do the trick ;)
 
lol jegues thanks.
hope the exam will be simpler than that haha
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
