Amachinist turns on the power on to a grinding wheel at time t= 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly from rest for 10 s and reaches the operating angular speed of 58rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 30 s, and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.4rad/s2 until the wheel stops. what is the total number of revolutions made by the wheel in this situation?

θt = 514.3 revolutions

Explanation:

(1)The wheel accelerates uniformly from rest for 10 s and reaches the operating angular speed of 58rad/s.

The uniformly accelerated circular movement  a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated

ωf = ω₀ + α*t  Formula (1)

θ = ω₀*t + (1/2)*α*t² Formula (2)

ωf² = ω₀² +2*α*θ Formula (3)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular speed ( rad/s)

ωf : final angular speed ( rad/s)

Number of revolutions made by the wheel from t = 0 to t = 10 s

Data

ω₀ = 0

t = 10 s

ωf = 58 rad/s

We replace data in the formula (1) to calculate α

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

58 = 0 + α*(10)

α = 58 /10

α = 5.8 rad/s²

We replace data in the formula (2) to calculate θ

θ = ω₀*t + (1/2)*α*t²

θ = 0 + (1/2)*( 5.8)*(10)²

θ₁ = 290 rad

(2)The wheel is run at that angular velocity for 30 s, and then power is shut off.

The movement of the wheel is circular with constant angular speed and the formula to calculate θ is:

θ = ω*t

ω = 58 rad/s  , t= 30s

θ = (58 rad/s)*(30)

θ = (58 rad/s)*(30)

θ ₂= 1740 rad

(3)The wheel slows down uniformly at 1.4 rad/s² until the wheel stops.

ω₀ = 58 rad/s

α = -1.4 rad/s²

ωf = 0

We replace data in the formula (3) to calculate θ

(ωf)² = (ω₀)² + (2)*(α )*θ

0 = (58)² + (2)*(-1.4)*θ

(2)*(1.4)*θ = (58)²

θ = (58)² / (2.8)

θ = (58)² / (2.8)

θ₃ = 1201.42 rad

Total number of revolutions made by the wheel (θt)

θt =θ₁+θ₂+θ₃

θt  = 290 rad+ 1740 rad + 1201.42 rad

θt  = 3231.42 rad

1 revolution = 2π rad

θt = 3231.42 rad* ( 1revolution/2π rad)

θt = 514.3 revolutions

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
