A car is traveling at 20.0 m/s on tires with a diameter of 70.0 cm. The car slows down to a rest after traveling 300.0 m. If the tires rolled without slipping, what was the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the tires during the time the car slowed to a rest

Respuesta :

Answer: deceleration of [tex]1.904\ rad/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Car is traveling at a speed of u=20 m/s

The diameter of the car is d=70 cm

It slows down to rest in 300 m

If the car rolls without slipping, then it must be experiencing pure rolling i.e. [tex]a=\alpha \cdot r[/tex]

Using the equation of motion

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\[/tex]

Insert [tex]v=0,u=20,s=300[/tex]

[tex]0-(20)^2=2\times a\times 300\\\\a=\dfrac{-400}{600}\\\\a=-\dfrac{2}{3}\ m/s^2[/tex]

Write acceleration as [tex]a=\alpha \cdot r[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{2}{3}=\alpha \times 0.35\\\\\alpha =-\dfrac{2}{1.05}\\\\\alpha =-1.904\ rad/s^2[/tex]

So, the car must be experiencing the deceleration of [tex]1.904\ rad/s^2[/tex].

The angular accelaration of a car traveling at 20.0 m/s on tires with a diameter of 70.0 cm, when car slows down to rest after traveling 300.0 m is 1.91 m/s

Angular acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of angular velocity. The s.i unit of angular acceleration is  rad/s²

In other to solve the problem above, we will use the formula for calculating angular acceleration

a = αr.............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car's tires, α = angular acceleration of the car's tires, r = radius of the car's tires

Therefore,

α = a/r................. Equation 2

But, we need to calculate a using the equations of motion

v² = u²+2as................ Equation 3

Where v = final velocity = 0 m/s (rest), u = initial velocity= 20m/s, s = distance = 300 m

Substitute these values into equation 3

0² = 20²+2(300²)a

-400 = 600a

a = -400/600

a = -0.67 m/s²

going back to equation 2,

Given: r = 70/2 = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Substitute this values into  equation 2,

α = -0.67/0.35

α = -1.91 rad/s²

Hence, the magnitude of the angular acceleration is 1.91 rad/s²
