When starting a fan, it communicates a constant angular acceleration of 2.00 rad / s2. (a) Calculate the time necessary for it to acquire a speed of 900 r.p.m. (b) How many laps does it make in that time? (c) If after turning it off, it makes 75 turns before coming to a complete stop, how long does it take to stop?
The equations for constant angular motion are,
Here, is final speed, is initial speed, is angular acceleration, is angle traveled.
(a) Here, , ,
So,
(b)
So 2220.3 rad=353.4 turn it makes in that time.
(c) Now, , and
So for the time
It will take 10 seconds to stop the fan.
