Motion with constant angular acceleration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the calculation of revolutions made by a blade under constant angular acceleration until it reaches full speed. Participants emphasize the importance of using angular equations, which parallel linear motion equations, particularly noting that integration is necessary to determine distance traveled from acceleration. There is a request for assistance in clarifying the second part of the question regarding the number of revolutions. Additionally, there is a suggestion to learn how to post mathematical equations using LaTeX for clearer communication. Overall, the focus remains on solving the problem of revolutions during the acceleration phase.

Homework Statement
The blade of a circular saw of diameter 20 cm accelerates uniformly from rest to 7000 rev/min in 1.2 s. What is the angular acceleration? How many revolutions will the blade have made
by the time it reaches full speed?

I am not understanding the 2nd part of the question where it is asked about how many revolutions will the blade make when it reaches full speed. Please help

Please learn how to post math equations using LaTeX. Your answer above looks like "Gio rad/s^2". There is a LaTeX Guide link below the Edit window to help you out. Thanks.

The angular equations (position, velocity, acceleration) are analogous to their linear counterparts. For linear motion, what mathematical operation do you use (twice) to go from acceleration to distance traveled? :smile:

Let's divide the time during which the acceleration happened into 12 tenths of one second.
How many times the blade completed a full turn within the 0 to 0.1 second?

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 .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
