The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6200 rpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in 4.3 s .
What is the angular acceleration as the blades slow down?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\alpha = -151 rad/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that blades are moving at speed of 6200 rpm

so here we can say that

[tex]f = 6200 rpm = \frac{6200}{60} rev/s[/tex]

[tex]f = 103.33 rev/s[/tex]

now we know that angular speed is given as

[tex]\omega = 2\pi f[/tex]

[tex]\omega = 2\pi(103.33) = 649.3 rad/s[/tex]

now it comes to rest after t = 4.3 s

so angular acceleration is given as

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

[tex]\alpha = \frac{0 - 649.3}{4.3}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = -151 rad/s^2[/tex]
