Dynamics of Rotational Motion and hinge

In summary: In any case, please use the homework template when posting in the future.In summary, a thin, uniform rod of length 0.8m and mass 2kg is connected to a frictionless hinge and held in the horizontal position. Upon release, the angular velocity at θ=90∘ is 0 rad/s, and the angular acceleration is 74 rad/s^2. The angular velocity at θ=60∘ is 8.6 rad/s, and the angular acceleration is 64 rad/s^2. Finally, at θ=0∘, the angular velocity is 12 rad/s, and the angular acceleration is 0 rad/s^2. The calculations for these values were derived from the

you are having problem with above - so check expression for angular acceleration.
moment of inertia xangular acceleration = torque on the rod =forcex the the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation
and for angular velocity one can use the work- energy conversion
work done by a torque is torquex angular displacement= rotational energy

We cannot tell where you are going wrong if you do not post your working.
 

What is rotational motion and how does it differ from translational motion?

Rotational motion is the movement of an object around an axis or fixed point. It differs from translational motion in that the object's position changes in a circular or curved path rather than a straight line.

What is a hinge and how does it affect rotational motion?

A hinge is a type of joint that allows for rotational motion by limiting the movement of two connected objects to a single axis. This allows for controlled and stable rotational motion.

What factors affect the dynamics of rotational motion?

The dynamics of rotational motion are affected by the mass, shape, and size of the rotating object, as well as the amount of force applied and the location of the axis of rotation.

How does angular velocity relate to rotational motion?

Angular velocity is a measure of the rate of change of an object's rotational position. It is directly related to the speed of the object's rotation and can be affected by changes in the object's mass or applied force.

What is the role of torque in rotational motion?

Torque is a measure of the force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. It is essential in determining the acceleration of a rotating object and can be increased by applying a greater force or by increasing the distance between the force and the axis of rotation.
