Non uniform circular motion of a disc

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the angular velocity of a disk drive experiencing non-uniform acceleration. The initial angular acceleration is given as α(i) = 605 rad/s², with a time-dependent angular acceleration defined by α(t) = α(i)sin(Bt), where B = 1.89. The problem requires determining the angular velocity at t = 0.87 seconds, utilizing the relationship between angular acceleration and angular velocity through integration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of angular motion and kinematics
  • Familiarity with calculus, specifically integration
  • Knowledge of angular acceleration and its relation to angular velocity
  • Basic concepts of rotational dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the integration of angular acceleration to find angular velocity
  • Learn about non-uniform circular motion and its equations
  • Explore examples of rotational dynamics in physics textbooks
  • Review HyperPhysics resources on angular motion for further clarification
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on rotational dynamics and angular motion, as well as educators seeking to explain non-uniform circular motion concepts.

Homework Statement


When powered up, a disk drive starts at rest and spins up with non-uniform acceleration. this lasts for 1.66 seconds after which it does not accelerate any more. how fast is it spinning at .87 seconds?
alpha(i)=605 rad/s^2
B=1.89
Radius=2.03 cm

Homework Equations



alpha=alpha(i)sin(Bt)

The Attempt at a Solution



i don't know how to relate the tangential acceleration into my velocity. I know that At^2=Ar^2+At^2 and At^2=v^2/r, but i can't finish this. please help!

so if i understand you correctly, i just need to integrate to achieve my answer?
