Ask Your Teacher The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 7.0 s. At this point the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub slows to rest in 13.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn during this 20 s interval?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\theta = 20\ rev[/tex]

Explanation:

Case 1

Given,

initial angular speed = 0 rev/s

final angular speed = 2 rev/s

time, t = 7 s

angular acceleration of the washer

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{2-0}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.286\ rev/s^2[/tex]

using equation of rotational motion

[tex]\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2 \alpha \theta_1[/tex]

[tex]2^2 = 0^2 + 2\times 0.286 \times \theta_1[/tex]

[tex]\theta_1 = 7 rev[/tex]

Case 2

Given,

initial angular speed = 2 rev/s

final angular speed = 0 rev/s

time, t = 12 s

angular acceleration of the washer

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{0-2}{13}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = -0.154\ rev/s^2[/tex]

using equation of rotational motion

[tex]\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2 \alpha \theta_2[/tex]

[tex]0^2 = 2^2 + 2\times (-0.154) \times \theta_2[/tex]

[tex]\theta_2 = 13 rev[/tex]

total revolution in this case

[tex]\theta = \theta_1 + \theta_2[/tex]

[tex]\theta =7 +13[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 20\ rev[/tex]

total revolution of the washer is equal to 20 rev.
