Dario, a prep cook at an italian restaurant, spins a salad spinner and observes that it rotates 20.0 times in 5.00 seconds and then stops spinning it. the salad spinner rotates 6.00 more times before it comes to rest. assume that the spinner slows down with constant angular acceleration.

(a). The acceleration is 8.3 rad/s².

(b). The time is 3.0 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rotation = 20.0 times

Time = 5.00 sec

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the angular displacement

Using formula of  angular displacement

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using equation of angular motion

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of the motion.

The acceleration is 8.3 rad/s².

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of angular motion

The time is 3.0 sec.

Hence, (a). The acceleration is 8.3 rad/s².

(b). The time is 3.0 sec.

This question is incomplete. The complete question asks for the angular acceleration. This question can be solved by using the equations of motion for angular motion.

The angular acceleration of the salad spinner is "- 1.33 rev/s²".

We will use the third equation of motion to find out the angular acceleration of the salad spinner:

where,

= angular acceleration = ?

= angular displacement = 6 rev

= final angular speed = 0 rev/s

= initial angular speed = = 4 rev/s

Therefore,

α = - 1.333 rev/s²

negative sign shows deceleration here.

The attached picture illustrates the equations of motion for angular motion.

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
