AI Thread Summary
A ceiling fan initially rotates at 1.0 revolutions per second and uniformly slows to a stop in 2.4 minutes. The total number of revolutions made during this deceleration can be calculated using the average speed and time. Additionally, to determine how many revolutions are needed for the fan's speed to decrease from 1.0 rev/s to 0.50 rev/s, the same principles of uniform deceleration apply. The discussion encourages readers to refer to external resources for further clarification on the calculations. Understanding these concepts is essential for solving the problem accurately.

A ceiling fan is rotating 1.0 rev/s. when turned off, it slows uniformly to a stop in 2.4 min.
How many revolutions does the fan make in this time?
Using the result from the above question, find the number of revolutions the fan must make for its speed to decrease from 1.0 rev/s to 0.50 rev/s.

Help!
thx

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
