Angular velocity of a machine problem

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the number of revolutions made by a machine during angular acceleration and the time taken for this acceleration. The machine starts with an angular velocity of 1.6 rad/s and accelerates to 6.2 rad/s with an angular acceleration of 0.7 rad/s². The relevant equations used are ω = ω₀ + αt for final angular velocity and θ = θ₀ + ω₀t + ½αt² for angular displacement. These equations allow for the determination of both the total revolutions and the duration of the acceleration phase.

PREREQUISITES

A machine rotates at an angular velocity of 1.6rad/s. Its velocity is then increased to 6.2rad/s at an angular acceleration of 0.7rad/s2. (a) How many revolutions does it make during its acceleration? (b) How long does the acceleration take?


Sorry I'm not quite sure as how to approach this problem, and I don't even know where to begin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know any equation that relates revolutions, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time? Can you then show some work? Thanks.
 
aright i got it thanks! i used:

\omega=\omega0+\alphat

and

\theta=\theta0+\omega0+\frac{1}{2}\alphat2
