Kinematics of Rotational Motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the angular velocity of a turntable after one complete revolution under constant angular acceleration. The relevant equation used is ω² = ω_initial² + 2α(Δθ), where Δθ is 2π for one revolution. The initial attempt yielded ω = √(4πα), but this was not among the multiple-choice answers provided. After clarification and simplification, the correct expression for angular velocity was identified as 2√(πα). Participants also discussed how to input mathematical symbols using LaTeX in the forum.

Homework Statement


A turntable that is initially at rest is set in
motion with a constant angular acceleration
α.
What is the magnitude of the angular ve-
locity of the turntable after it has made one
complete revolution?


Homework Equations


w(omega)^2 = w(omegeInitial)^2 +2α(delta)θ


The Attempt at a Solution


So then I used that because one revolution is equal to 2pi, I said w = sqrt. (4piα).
It is multiple choice and that is not one of the choices.
Here are the choices:
1. k~ωk = 2 π α
2. k~ωk = √2 π α
3. k~ωk = 2 α
4. k~ωk = 2√π α
5. k~ωk = √2 α
6. k~ωk = 4 π α
What am I doing wrong? Sorry if it is tough to read.

Not sure if you typed out the choices properly,but you can simplify you answer even more since √(ab) = (√a)*(√b)
 
Oh, I forgot to simplify, do it would be 2√π α

if you mean 2√(πα), then yes
 
Yeah, that's what I meant. BTW, how do you type those symbols (I copy and pasted the symbols I could).

If you meant LaTex, in the reply box click on the \sum[/tex] symbol and you will get the list of symbols.
 
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...
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 .
