The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 4.0 rev/s in 9.0 s. At this point, the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub slows to rest in 15.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn during this 24 s interval

48 rev

Explanation:

a) we can calculate the distance covered by the tube using the formula:

θ = (ω + ωo)t/2

where ω is the final angular speed, θ is the distance covered, t is the time taken, ωo is the initial angular speed.

Firstly, we calculate the distance covered from 0 to 9 s then from 9s to 24 s.

within 9s, the tub runs from rest (0) to 4 rev/s, hence:

t = 9s, wo = 0, w = 4 rev/s = (4 * 2π) rad/s = 8π rad/s. Hence:

θ = (ω + ωo)t/2 = (0 + 8π)9 / 2 = 36π rad

θ = 36π rad = (36π)/2π rev = 18 rev

Also, within 15 s, the tub runs from 4 rev/s to rest, hence:

t = 15 s, wo = 4 rev/s = 8π rad/s, w = 0 rad/s. Hence:

θ = (ω + ωo)t/2 = (8π + 0)15 / 2 = 60π rad

θ = 60π rad = (60π)/2π rev = 30 rev

Therefore the total revolutions by the tube during 24 s interval = 30 rev + 18 rev = 48 rev

conduction, convection, radiation

that would be because of both gravity and friction. so     c
