9.19 Emilies potters wheel rotates with a constant 2.25?rad/s2 angular acceleration. After 4.0?s, the wheel has rotated through an angle of 60.0?rad. What was the angular velocity of the wheel at the beginning of the 4.0?s interval? We choose the direction of rotation of the flywheel to be positive. Then: (θ-θo) = ωot +(1/2)αt2 gives ωo = (θ-θo)/t -(1/2)αt = (60rad)/4s – (1/2)(2.25rad/s2)(4s) = 10.5 rad/s 9.26 A flywheel with a radius of 0.300?m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600?rad/s2. Compute the magnitude of the tangential acceleration, the radial acceleration, and the resultant acceleration of a) a point on its rim at the start; b) a point on its rim after it has turned through 60.0o; c) a point on its rim after it has turned through 120o. We have: arad = rω2 and depending on the rotation rate, it changes as the flywheel accelerates. atan = rα and it is constant. Since and are in perpendicular directions, the resultant acceleration is Solve: (a) ω = 0 so atan = rα = (0.3m)(0.6rad/s2) = 0.18m/s2 Hence: a = 0.18m/s2 (b) for θ=(π/3) : ω2 = ω0 + 2α(θ-θ0); since ω0 = 0; then ω2 = 2α(θ-θ0); with arad = r ω2 arad = r(2α(θ-θ0)); arad = 0.377m/s2 (c) for θ=(2π/3) : arad = r(2α(θ-θ0)); arad = 0.754m/s2 9.28 Electric toothbrushes can be effective in removing dental plaque. One model consists of a head 1.10?cm in diameter that rotates back and forth through a 70.0o angle 7600?times/minute. The rim of the head contains a thin row of bristles; a) What is the average angular speed in each direction of the rotating head, in rad/s? b) What is the average linear speed in each direction of the bristles against the teeth? c) Using your own observations, what is the approximate speed of the bristles against your teeth when you brush by hand with an ordinary toothbrush? In one back and forth cycle the head turns through 140o = 2.443 rad. (a) In the head turns through ω = (θ/t) = (1.8573 104rad)/(60s) = 310/rad/s (b) ω = (θ/t)
