How to Calculate Time, Speed, and Angular Speed for Rotational Dynamics?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the time, speed, and angular speed for a hoop descending a distance of 0.600 m, kinematic equations are utilized after determining the acceleration of 4.9 m/s² and the tension of 0.745 N. The time taken for the hoop to descend is approximately 0.495 seconds, calculated using the equation Δy = vt + (1/2)at². The speed of the hoop's center of mass after descending is found to be about 2.426 m/s, derived from the final velocity equation. The angular speed of the hoop is calculated to be approximately 35.152 rad/s using the relationship σ = v/r. These calculations confirm the correct values for parts c, d, and e of the problem.

how do you do part c, d, and e

A string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small hoop of radius 0.0690 m and a mass 0.152 kg. The situation is sketched in the figure below.

If the free end of the string is held in place and the hoop is released from rest, calculate the following quantities:

(a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the hoop's center of mass
4.9 m/s2

(b) the tension in the string while the hoop descends and the string unwinds
0.745 N

(c) the time it takes the hoop to descend 0.600 m
_________ s

(d) the speed of the hoop's center of mass after it's descended 0.600 m
__________m/s

(e) the angular speed of the rotating hoop after it's descended 0.600 m
__________rad/s


Attempt
Σ Forces in x direction = ma
mg - Tension = ma
mg - T= ma

Σ Torque = Iα
Iα = Tr
(mr^2)(a/r)= Tr
T= ma

mg - T = ma
mg- ma = ma
mg = 2ma
g = 2a
a = g/2 = 9.8/2= 4.9

T = ma
= (0.152)(4.9)
= 0.7448

You found the acceleration; use kinematics to solve those parts of the problem.
 
so for part c, would i just do

Δy = vt + (1/2)at^2
0.6 = 0 + (1/2) (4.9) t^2
t^2 = 0.244897
t = 0.495 s

then d is found by

final velocity = inital velocity + at
= 0 + (4.9)(0.495)
= 2.426 m/s

Lastly e is found by

σ = v/r
= 2.426/0.069
= 35.152 rad/s

thanks i already put entered them and they are correct!

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...
