Question

show work

What is the tangential acceleration of a bug on the rim of a 8.0 in. diameter disk if the disk moves from rest to an angular speed of 77 rev/min in 4.0 s? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations, m/s2 When the disk is at its final speed, what is the tangential velocity of the bug? Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. m/s One second after the bug starts from rest, what is its tangential acceleration? What is its centripetal acceleration? What is its total acceleration? (relative to the tangential acceleration)

Explanation / Answer

Angular Acceleration = (77*(2/60))/4

= 2.0158 rad/sec^2

w = w0 + t

= 0 + 2.0158*4

= 8.0632 rad/sec

As we know

v = wr

8 inch = 0.2032 m


v = 8.0632*0.2032*0.5

= 0.8192 m/sec

Tangential Acceleration = v^2/r

= (0.8192)^2/(0.5*0.2032)

= 6.605 m/sec^2

============================================

Tangential Acceleration = 0.8192 m/sec
