A coin with a diameter of 1.90 cm is dropped on edge onto a horizontal surface. The coin starts out with an initial angular speed of 14.4 rad/s and rolls in a straight line without slipping. If the rotation slows with an angular acceleration of magnitude 1.88 rad/s2, how far does the coin roll before coming to rest? HELPPPPPP

To find out how far the coin rolls before coming to rest, we need to use the equations of rotational motion.

1. The initial angular speed (ω0) is given as 14.4 rad/s.
2. The magnitude of the angular acceleration (α) is given as 1.88 rad/s².
3. The final angular speed (ωf) when the coin comes to rest is 0 rad/s.

We can use the following equation to find the distance rolled by the coin:

θ = (ω0² - ωf²) / (2α),

where θ is the angular distance rolled by the coin.

Let's substitute the given values into the equation:

θ = (14.4² - 0²) / (2 * 1.88).

Calculating,

θ = (207.36) / 3.76.

θ ≈ 55.22 rad.

Now, we need to relate the angular distance rolled (θ) to the linear distance (d) using the formula:

d = θ * r,

where r is the radius of the coin.

Given that the diameter of the coin is 1.90 cm, the radius (r) will be half of that:

r = 1.90 cm / 2 = 0.95 cm = 0.0095 m.

Now, substituting the values into the equation:

d = 55.22 * 0.0095.

Calculating,

d ≈ 0.5238 m.

Therefore, the coin rolls approximately 0.5238 meters before coming to rest.

To determine how far the coin rolls before coming to rest, we need to consider the motion of the coin.

First, let's determine the time it takes for the coin to come to rest. We can use the rotational motion equations to do that.

The rotational motion equation for angular velocity is:
ωf = ωi + αt

Where:
- ωf is the final angular velocity (zero in this case since the coin comes to rest).
- ωi is the initial angular velocity (given as 14.4 rad/s).
- α is the angular acceleration (given as 1.88 rad/s²).
- t is the time taken.

Rearranging the equation to solve for time (t), we have:
t = (ωf - ωi) / α

Substituting the given values, we have:
t = (0 - 14.4) / 1.88
t ≈ -7.66 seconds

Since time cannot be negative, we ignore the negative sign and take the absolute value:
t ≈ 7.66 seconds

Now that we know the time it takes for the coin to come to rest, we can determine the distance it rolls. In rolling motion, the distance traveled (d) is related to the radius of the coin (r) and the number of revolutions (N) by the equation:

d = 2πrN

To find the number of revolutions, we can use the relationship between linear and angular displacement:

θ = s / r

where θ is the angular displacement, s is the linear displacement (distance traveled), and r is the radius of the coin.

Rearranging the equation to solve for s gives us:
s = θ * r

The angular displacement is given by:
θ = ωi * t + 0.5 * α * t²

Substituting the given values, we have:
θ = (14.4 rad/s) * (7.66 s) + 0.5 * (1.88 rad/s²) * (7.66 s)²
θ ≈ 693.34 radians

Now we can substitute the angular displacement and radius into the equation for distance traveled:
d = 2π * (1.90 cm / 2) * (693.34 rad / (2π))
d ≈ 5181.45 cm

Therefore, the coin rolls approximately 5181.45 cm before coming to rest.
