A wheel has a constant angular acceleration of 1.8 rad/s2. During a certain 4.0 s interval, it turns through an angle of 45 rad. Assuming that the wheel started from rest, how long had it been in motion before the start of the 4.0 s interval?

Answer:

4.25 s

Explanation:

Given:

angular acceleration'α'=  1.8 rad/s²

angle 'θ'= 45 rad

time 't'= 4s

initial angular velocity '[tex]w_{o}[/tex]'=0[tex]rad^{-1}[/tex]

as we know that,

θ= [tex]w_{1}[/tex]t + [tex]\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^{2}[/tex]

45 = 4 [tex]w_{1}[/tex] + (0.5 x 1.8 x 16)

45- 14.4 = 4 [tex]w_{1}[/tex]

30.6 = 4 [tex]w_{1}[/tex]

[tex]w_{1}[/tex]= 7.65 [tex]rad^{-1}[/tex]

Next is to find t by using the equation

[tex]w_{1}[/tex] =  [tex]w_{o}[/tex] + [tex]\alpha t_{1}[/tex]

7.65= 0 + (1.8)[tex]t_{1}[/tex]

[tex]t_{1}[/tex]= 7.65/1.8

[tex]t_{1}[/tex]= 4.25 s

Therefore, At the start of 4s interval the motion is at 4.25 second
