A phonograph record accelerates from rest to 41.0 rpm in 4.73 s. (a) What is its angular acceleration in rad/s2? rad/s2 (b) How many revolutions does it go through in the process? rev

(a) α = 0.908 rad/s²

(b) Ф = 1.62 rev.

Explanation:

(a)

Using,

α = (ω-ω₀)/t Equation 1

Where α = angular acceleration, ω = final angular velocity, ω₀ = Initial angular velocity, t = time.

Given: ω₀ = 0 rad/s (from rest), ω = 41 rpm = 41(0.10472) = 4.29352 rad/s, t = 4.73 s

Substitute into equation 1

α = (4.29352-0)/4.73

α = 0.908 rad/s²

(b)

using,

Ф= (ω+ω₀)t/2Equation 2

Where Ф = revolution in rad.

Given: ω₀ = 0 rad/s. ω = 4.29352 rad/s, t = 4.73 s

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = (4.29352+0)4.73/2

Ф = 10.154 rad

Ф = 10.154/2π = 10.154/(2×3.14)

Ф = 10.154/6.28

Ф = 1.62 rev.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
