AI Thread Summary

To find the time it takes for a flywheel to stop after completing 40 revolutions, the initial angular acceleration of 1.5 rad/s must be considered. The calculation involves determining the final angular velocity, which is 0 rad/s when the flywheel stops. The user ultimately resolves their confusion regarding how to find the angular acceleration on their own. The discussion highlights a common challenge in understanding rotational motion concepts. The thread concludes with the user successfully solving their problem.

k, i know this is a braindead quest..but I am tied and can't think

a flywheel turns through 40 revs as it slows from an angular acceleration of 1.5 rads/s to 0. Find the time it takes to stop.

k..all I need to know is how do I find the angular acceleration?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
