Acceleration Angular Angular acceleration Per Radians

AI Thread Summary

To find the angular acceleration of a potter's wheel that moves uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 0.23 revolutions per second in 29 seconds, one must first define angular acceleration as the change in angular velocity over time. The conversion from revolutions per second to radians per second involves multiplying by 2π, resulting in an angular speed of approximately 1.44 radians per second. The angular acceleration can then be calculated using the formula: angular acceleration = (final angular velocity - initial angular velocity) / time. Participants are encouraged to show their work and follow a posting template for clarity. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Welcome to PF.

You have to show us what you have done first. You should follow the posting template.

What is the definition of angular acceleration? How do you convert revolutions per second to angular speed?

Thread 'Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?'

Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.

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...
