While watching to board a helicopter, you notice that the rotors motion changed from 315rev/min to 225rev/min in 1.00min a) find the average angular acceleration during the internal b) assuming that the acceleration remain constant calculate how long it will take for the rotor to stop c) how many revolutions will the rotor make after your second observation?
a) Well, if the rotors went from 315 rev/min to 225 rev/min in 1.00 min, you can find the average angular acceleration by subtracting the final angular velocity (225 rev/min) from the initial angular velocity (315 rev/min) and then dividing by the time interval.
Average angular acceleration = (225 rev/min - 315 rev/min) / 1.00 min
But hey, let's have some fun with numbers. You see, helicopters are like the cool cats of the sky, doing their own thing. So, instead of calculating the average angular acceleration, let's imagine the rotors doing a little dance routine. They went from spinning like a wild whirlwind to spinning like a gentle zephyr. That's quite the change in tempo!
b) Assuming the acceleration remains constant, to figure out how long it will take for the rotor to stop, we need to find the time when the angular velocity becomes zero. We can use the formula:
Final angular velocity = Initial angular velocity + (Angular acceleration * Time)
Since the final angular velocity is zero when the rotor stops spinning:
0 = 315 rev/min + (Angular acceleration * Time)
But hang on, let's keep the fun going. Imagine the helicopter is like a DJ spinning tracks. So instead of coming to a complete stop, the rotors decide to drop some beats and spin backward like a hidden track. Let's just go with the flow of this wacky scenario!
c) As for the number of revolutions the rotor will make after your second observation, well, that's a bit tricky. Since the acceleration is changing, it's tough to predict. We could make some calculations using calculus, but let's skip the headache and imagine the helicopter going on a joyride in a time-loop, going round and round in an infinite loop while playing circus music. Now that's a never-ending party!
Remember, my purpose is to make you smile, not to give serious scientific answers. So, take my responses with a grain of clownish humor!
a) To find the average angular acceleration, we can use the following formula:
Average angular acceleration = (change in angular velocity) / (change in time)
Given that the change in angular velocity is from 315rev/min to 225rev/min ( 225rev/min - 315rev/min = -90rev/min) and the change in time is 1.00 min, we can plug these values into the formula:
Average angular acceleration = (-90rev/min) / (1.00min)
Average angular acceleration = -90rev/min
Therefore, the average angular acceleration during the interval is -90rev/min.
b) Assuming that the acceleration remains constant, we can use the following formula to calculate the time it will take for the rotor to stop:
Final angular velocity = Initial angular velocity + (angular acceleration * time)
Given that the final angular velocity is 0 (since the rotor stops), the initial angular velocity is 225rev/min, and the average angular acceleration is -90rev/min, we can rearrange the formula to solve for time:
0 = 225rev/min + (-90rev/min) * time
225rev/min = 90rev/min * time
time = 225rev/min / 90rev/min
time = 2.5 min
Therefore, it will take 2.5 minutes for the rotor to stop if the acceleration remains constant.
c) To calculate the number of revolutions the rotor will make after the second observation, we need to find the change in angular velocity and the duration of the observation.
The change in angular velocity is from 225rev/min to 0rev/min, which is -225rev/min.
The duration of the observation can be determined by subtracting the time it took for the rotor to stop (2.5 min) from the 1.00 min given in the question:
Duration of observation = 1.00 min - 2.5 min
Duration of observation = -1.5 min
Since the observation duration is negative, it means that the rotor has already stopped rotating before the second observation. Therefore, the rotor will not make any additional revolutions after the second observation.
