Derive an expression for the number of revolutions that the wheel will rotate through before coming to rest. Express your answer in terms of the variables ω0 and α, and the constant π.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial angular velocity is [tex]\omega _0[/tex]

when motor is turned of it started decelerating with [tex]-\alpha [/tex]  angular acceleration

angle turned before coming to halt

[tex]\omega ^2-\omega _0^2=2(\alpha )\theta [/tex]

here final angular velocity is zero

[tex]-\omega _0^2=-2\alpha \theta [/tex]

[tex]\theta =\frac{\omega _0^2}{2\alpha }[/tex]

No of revolutions will be [tex]N=\frac{\theta }{2\pi }[/tex]

[tex]N=\frac{\omega _0^2}{4\pi \alpha }[/tex]

The expression for the number of revolutions that the grinding wheel will rotate through before coming to rest is [tex]n = \frac{\omega_{o}^{2}}{4\pi\cdot \alpha}[/tex].

How to derive an expression for the deceleration of the grinding wheel

In this question we must assume that the grinding wheel decelerates unifomrly in time and a revolution is equivalent to 2π radians. The angular accelaration has the following formula:

[tex]\alpha (t) = -\alpha[/tex]   (1)

Where α is the angular acceleration, in radians per square second.  

The change in angular position ([tex]\Delta \theta[/tex]) is found by integrating (1) twice:

[tex]\Delta \theta = \omega_{o}\cdot t - \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha\cdot t^{2}[/tex]   (2)

Where:

  • t - Time, in seconds
  • [tex]\omega_{o}[/tex] - Initial angular velocity, in radians per second.

And the number of revolutions done by the grinding wheel is:

[tex]n = \frac{\omega_{o}\cdot t -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha\cdot t^{2} }{2\pi}[/tex]   (3)

The time needed for the grinding wheel is found by the equation of the angular velocity:

[tex]t = \frac{\omega_{o}}{\alpha}[/tex]   (4)

And we replace the time by (4) in (3):

[tex]n = \frac{\frac{\omega_{o}^{2}}{\alpha} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha\cdot \left(\frac{\omega_{o}}{\alpha} \right)^{2}}{2\pi}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\pi\cdot \alpha} -\frac{\omega_{o}^{2}}{4\pi\cdot \alpha}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{\omega_{o}^{2}}{4\pi\cdot \alpha}[/tex]

The expression for the number of revolutions that the grinding wheel will rotate through before coming to rest is [tex]n = \frac{\omega_{o}^{2}}{4\pi\cdot \alpha}[/tex]. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
