A centrifuge is spinning at 3600 rev/min, and when turned off, it rotates 50 times before coming to a stop.

A) What is the initial angular velocity?

B) What is the angle (in radians) that the centrifuge passes through before stopping?

C) What is the angular acceleration?

D) How long does it take for the centrifuge to come to rest?

Show some work. Thanks!

didn't I just set this up for you?

A) To find the initial angular velocity, we need to convert the given information into the proper units.

1 revolution (rev) is equal to 2π radians. Therefore, 3600 rev/min is equivalent to (3600 rev/min) * (2π rad/1 rev) = 3600 * 2π rad/min.

To convert from minutes to seconds, divide by 60: (3600 * 2π) rad/min / 60 min/s = 120π rad/s.

So, the initial angular velocity is 120π rad/s.

B) The number of revolutions the centrifuge passes through before stopping is given as 50. To find the angle in radians, we again use the conversion factor: 50 rev * 2π rad/1 rev = 100π rad.

Therefore, the centrifuge passes through 100π radians before stopping.

C) The angular acceleration can be calculated using the formula:

Angular acceleration (α) = (Final angular velocity - Initial angular velocity) / Time

Since the centrifuge comes to a stop, the final angular velocity is 0 rad/s. The initial angular velocity is 120π rad/s.

So, the angular acceleration is α = (0 rad/s - 120π rad/s) / t.

D) To find the time it takes for the centrifuge to come to rest, we need to use the formula:

Final angular velocity (ωf) = Initial angular velocity (ωi) + (Angular acceleration (α) * Time (t)).

Since the final angular velocity is 0 rad/s, the equation becomes: 0 rad/s = 120π rad/s + α * t.

Now we need to solve the equation for t:

120π rad/s = α * t

t = (120π rad/s) / α

Substituting the value of α we obtained earlier:

t = (120π rad/s) / ((0 rad/s - 120π rad/s) / t)

Simplifying, we get:

t = (120π rad/s) / (-120π rad/s) = -1 second

It is important to note that the negative sign here indicates that the time is a decrease in magnitude rather than a negative value. Therefore, the centrifuge takes 1 second to come to rest.

In summary:

A) The initial angular velocity is 120π rad/s.

B) The centrifuge passes through 100π radians before stopping.

C) The angular acceleration is -120π rad/s^2.

D) It takes 1 second for the centrifuge to come to rest.
