How to Calculate Angular Acceleration and Kinetic Energy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating angular acceleration and kinetic energy in various scenarios. For a turntable slowing from 32 1/3 rev/min to rest in 29 seconds, the angular acceleration is calculated as -0.018582 s, resulting in approximately 8.03 revolutions. A solid ball with a mass of 1.6 kg rotating at 64 rev/min has a kinetic energy of 0.575 J, and with an additional 2 J, the new angular speed is calculated to be 136 rev/min. Lastly, a 1300-kg car falling from a winch is analyzed, yielding a speed of 8.89 m/s upon impact with the water. The calculations emphasize the application of angular motion principles and energy conservation.

When a turntable rotating at 32 1/3 rev/min is shut off, it comes to rest in 29 s.

a assuming constant angular accelerationn, find the angular acceleration.
(my work) W-Wo/t=a and I got -.12

b number of revolutions
(my work) phida-initial phida= Wot + 1/2at^2 and I got 8.03 rev

2 A solid ball of mass 1.6kg and diameter 20 cm is rotating about its diameter at 64rev/min

a What is its KE.
(my work) K= 1/2 Iw^2, I=2/5 MR^2 I= 2.56 x10^-2 kg m^2 K= 5.75 x 10^-1 J

b addition 2 J is added, new angular speed.
(my work) 2.57 J is new K, W^2= 2K/I W= 1.36 x 10^2 rev/min

3 A 1300-kg car is being unloaded by a winch. At the moment shown in Figure 9-46, the gearbox shaft of the winch breaks, and the car falls from rest. During the car's fall, there is no slipping between the (massless) rope, the pulley, and the winch drum. The moment of inertia of the winch drum is 300 kg · m2 and that of the pulley is 2 kg · m2. The radius of the winch drum is 0.80 m and that of the pulley is 0.30 m. Find the speed of the car as it hits the water.

and I got 8.89 by using mgh= 1/2 Iw (V/rw)^2+ 1/2 Ip (V/rp)^2 mv^2

For question 1, the turntable. 32 1/3 revs per minute gives ω0 = 0.5389 s-1.
The angular acceleration (assuming constant) gives α = (0-ω0)/t = - 0.5389 / 29 = 0.018582 s.
Can you find the correct number of revolutions now? Keep in mind that one revolution is 2π
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
