    Accelerate Torque
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque needed to accelerate a phonograph album weighing 75 grams with a diameter of 30 cm at an angular acceleration of 3 rad/s², the formula T = Iα is used. The moment of inertia for a disc is given by I = 1/2 MR². Participants express frustration over the lack of understanding and resources, with one user acknowledging the difficulty of applying theoretical equations to practical problems. The discussion highlights the balance between providing assistance and encouraging independent learning. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of grasping fundamental physics concepts for problem-solving.

1.How much torque is required to accelerate a phonograph album (75-g, 30-cm diameter 33.3 rpm) at 3-rad/sec2


2. T=I(alpha)



3. Sorry i have to idea on this one I am completely lost!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
\tau = I\alpha as you stated.
You are given \alpha = 3 \theta s^{-1}
So just multiply by moment of inertia.

Hint: For a disc it's I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2
 
Rake, you are not helping here. The OP should know some of this stuff, or should at least know how to look it up. When you give out too much information you are helping students get their homework finished (you are doing it for them, for free), but you are not helping them learn.
 
Well the fact that I don't own a physics book and My teacher only gives us equations with variables for numbers and variables for more numbers and only gives examples of when used in real life. i would say that at least that is teaching me something thanks rake it helped me get that problem done on to the next one that was easy b/c of your help
 
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 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
