Speed and accleration of a turntable

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating various parameters of an electric turntable with a diameter of 0.740m, an initial angular velocity of 0.290 rad/s, and an angular acceleration of 0.900 rad/s². The first calculation seeks the angular velocity after 0.194 seconds, yielding a result of 0.465 rev/s. The second part determines the number of revolutions made in that time, which is 0.073 rev. Participants are struggling with the tangential speed and resultant acceleration calculations, specifically needing to convert revolutions to meters using the circumference. Clarification on these calculations is requested to resolve errors in the solutions provided.

Homework Statement



An electric turntable 0.740m in diameter is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 0.290rad/s . The angular acceleration is 0.900rad/s^2 .

a) Compute the angular velocity after a time of 0.194s. - .465rev/s

b) Through how many revolutions has the blade turned in this time interval? - .073rev

c) What is the tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.194s ?

d) What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time = 0.194 ?

Homework Equations



v = r\omega

arad = \omega^2r

atan = r\alpha


The Attempt at a Solution



for part c)

v = (.740/2)(.465) = .172m/s wrong

for part d)

arad = (.465)^2(.740/2) = .0800m/s^2

atan = (.740/2)(.900) = .333m/s^2

a = (.0800^2 + .333^2)^(1/2) = .342m/s^2 wrong

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help is appreciated.

For part C it seems as if you need to do is convert the revs to meters. To do this you need to know the circumference (which would be the distance "unrolled" after 1 revolution)
 
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 .
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...
