Chapter 1: Q2 E (page 294)

An airplane propeller is rotating at 1900 rpm (rev/min). (a) Compute the propeller’s angular velocity in rad/s. (b) How many seconds does it take for the propeller to turn through 35°?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The angular velocity is 199 rad/s.
  2. The required time is 0.003 s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The first arc length isIa=1.5m .

The first radius is ra=2.5m.

02

Concept/Significance of angular velocity

Angular velocity is the velocity by which a particle is moving in a circular path. It is represented by ω.

03

Determine the propeller’s angular velocity in rad/s(a)

It is known that 1rpm=2πrad60s.

Convert the given angular velocity as follows.

ω=1900rpm2πrad60s=199rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity is 199 rad/s.

04

Determine the taken by propeller to turn through 35°(b)

Convert the given angle into radian.

θrad=35°πrad180°=0.61rad

Find the required time as follows.

θ=ωtt=θω=0.61rad199rad/s=0.003s

Therefore, the required time is 0.003 s.

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

(b) At the beginning she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276110547" 5.0m/s , and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0m/s.

(c) At the beginning she is moving toward the right at , and at the end she is moving toward the left atrole="math" localid="1655276636193" 15.0m/s .
