Compact disk angular acceleration

AI Thread Summary
A compact disc accelerates from rest to 5200 RPM over 620 radians, completing 99 revolutions during this time. To find angular acceleration, users can apply constant acceleration equations, substituting angular variables for linear ones. The initial and final angular velocities, along with the angular displacement, are key to solving for angular acceleration. Once angular acceleration is determined, the time to reach the final speed can also be calculated. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



A compact disc speeds from rest to 5200 rpms in 620 rad. Diameter is 5.0cm
-how many revolutions did it make in this time
-what is the angular acceleration in rad/s^2
-how long does ti take to reach this speed

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


i was able to find the first part by
620(180/π) = 35523 dividing that by 360 and getting 99 revolutions

for the last 2, i am completely lost to where i even begin solving them.thank you..

welcome to pf!

hi jkhays! welcome to pf! :smile:

you can use the usual constant acceleration equations, with angular acceleration velocity and displacement instead of ordinary (linear) acceleration velocity and displacement :wink:
 
You know ω initial and ω final, and Δθ. You can solve for angular acceleration using one of the kinematics equations for constant acceleration. Once you have alpha you can solve for t.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
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...
