Chapter 9 Problem 10E

Question

An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 500 rev/min to 200 rev/min in 4.00 s. (a) Find the angular acceleration in \(\mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) and the number of revolutions made by the motor in the 4.00-s interval. (b) How many more seconds are required for the fan to come to rest if the angular acceleration remains constant at the value calculated in part (a)?

Solution

Step 1 of 5

(a)

Initial angular velocity \(\omega_0=500\ \mathrm{rev}/\mathrm{\min}\) or 8.33 rev/s

Final angular velocity \(\omega=200\mathrm{\ rev}/\mathrm{\min}\) or 3.33 rev/s

Time taken t = 4s
