Auniform-density wheel of mass 10 kg and radius 0.36 m rotates on a low-friction axle. starting from rest, a string wrapped around the edge exerts a constant force of 14 n for 0.76 s. (a) what is the final angular speed? radians/s (b) what was the average angular speed? radians/s (c) through how big an angle did the wheel turn? radians/s (d) how much string came off the wheel?

(a) 5.91 rad/s

(b) 2.96 rad/s

(c) 2.25 rad

(d) 0.81 m

Explanation:

The torque generated by tension force from the string is:

T = FR = 14*0.36 = 5.04  Nm

This torque would then create an angular acceleration on the uniform-density wheel with moments of inertia of

(a) The wheel turns for 0.76s, this means the final angular speed is

(b) Since the force is constant, the torque is also constant and so is the angular acceleration. This means angular speed is rising at a constant rate. That means the average angular speed is half of the final speed

(c) The total angle that the wheel turns is the average angular speed times time

(d) The string length coming off would equal to the distance swept by the wheel

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
