A record player rotates a record at 45 revolutions per minute. When the record player is switched off, it makes 4.0 complete turns at a constant angular acceleration before coming to rest. What was the magnitude of the angular acceleration (in rads/s2) of the record as it slowed down

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  angular acceleration is [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  angular speed is [tex]w_f = 45 \ rev / minutes = \frac{45 * 2 * \pi }{60 }= 4.713 \ rad/s[/tex]

       The  angular displacement is  [tex]\theta =4 \ rev = 4 * 2 * \pi = 25.14 \ rad[/tex]

From the first equation of motion we can define the movement of the record as

      [tex]w_f ^2 = w_o ^2 + 2 * \alpha * \theta[/tex]

Given that the record started from rest [tex]w_o = 0[/tex]

So

       [tex]4.713^2 = 2 * \alpha * 25.14[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]
