Homework SourseA computer hard disk 80 cm in diameter is initially at rest
A computer hard disk 8.0 cm in diameter is initially at rest. A small dot is painted on the edge of the disk. The disc accelerates at 690 rad/s^2 for 0.5 sec then coasts for another 0.5 sec. Part A what is the speed of the dot at 1 sec
Part B Through how many revolutions has it turned

Part B Through how many revolutions has it turned
Part B Through how many revolutions has it turned
Solution
Angular velocity
wf = wi + a t = 0 + (690 * 0.50 s) = 345 rad/s
As the speed is constant after accelerating, speed
wf = 345 rad/s
v = r w = 0.08 * 345 = 27.6 m/s
-----------------------------------------------------
Angular distance
theta\' = 0 + 0.5 * 690 * 0.52 = 86.25 rad
Angular distance at constant speed theta\'\' = v t = 345 * 0.50 = 172.5 rad
distance = theta\' + theta\'\' = 258.75 rad
258.75 rad = 41.2 rev
