How Does Angular Acceleration Affect Angular Velocity?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the angular velocity of a grinding wheel after a constant tangential force is applied. Given the wheel's radius of 0.330 m, a force of 270 N results in an angular acceleration of 0.984 rad/s². Starting from rest, the angular velocity can be determined using the formula ω = αt, where α is angular acceleration and t is time. After 4.30 seconds, the angular velocity can be calculated, but the user is uncertain about the correct equation to use. The conversation emphasizes understanding the relationship between angular acceleration and angular velocity in rotational motion.

Homework Statement


A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A constant tangential force of 270 N applied to its edge causes the wheel to have an angular acceleration of 0.984 rad/s2.

If the wheel starts from rest, what is its angular velocity after 4.30 s have elapsed, assuming the force is acting during that time?

Homework Equations


Moment of intertia is 90.457kg/m2
mass of wheel is 1661.29kg


The Attempt at a Solution



I was able to find moment of inertia and mass of wheel above...not sure about angular velocity. I can't find the right equation what uses I.

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 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
