A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 12 rad/s over the next 4.0 seconds. Assume that the angular acceleration is constant. Through how many revolutions does the grindstone turn during the 4.0-second interval?

6.36

Explanation:

Given

Radius of grindstone, r = 4 m

Initial angular speed of grindstone, w(i) = 8 rad/s

Final angular speed of the grindstone, w(f) = 12 rad/s

Time used, t = 4 s

Angular acceleration of the grinder,

α = Δw / t

α = w(f) - w(i) / t

α = (12 - 8) / 4

α = 4/4 = 1 rad/s²

Number of complete revolution in 4s =

Δθ = w(i).t + 1/2.α.t²

Δθ = 8 * 4 + 1/2 * 1 * 4²

Δθ = 32 + 1/2 * 16

Δθ = 32 + 8

Δθ = 40 rad/s

40 rad/s = 40/2π rpm = 6.36 rpm

Therefore, the grindstone does 6.36 revolutions during the 4 s interval

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
