A ceiling fan with 80-cm-diameter blades is turning at 60 rpm. Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 25 s after being turned off. Through how many revolutions does the fan turn while stopping?

Step 1: Identify the given values. The diameter of the fan blades is 80 cm, so the radius is 40 cm (0.4 m). The initial angular velocity \( \omega_0 \) is given as 60 rpm, which needs to be converted to radians per second: \( \omega_0 = 60 \times \frac{2\pi}{60} = 2\pi \ \text{rad/s} \). The time to stop \( t \) is 25 s, and the final angular velocity \( \omega_f \) is 0 rad/s since the fan comes to rest.
Step 2: Use the kinematic equation for rotational motion to find the angular acceleration \( \alpha \): \( \omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t \). Rearrange to solve for \( \alpha \): \( \alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t} \). Substitute the known values: \( \alpha = \frac{0 - 2\pi}{25} \).
Step 3: Use the rotational kinematic equation to find the total angular displacement \( \theta \) in radians: \( \theta = \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2 \). Substitute the known values for \( \omega_0 \), \( \alpha \), and \( t \): \( \theta = (2\pi)(25) + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{-2\pi}{25} \right)(25^2) \).
Step 4: Simplify the expression for \( \theta \) to calculate the total angular displacement in radians. Note that \( \theta \) will be the sum of the initial term and the deceleration term. Ensure proper handling of the negative sign for \( \alpha \).
Step 5: Convert the angular displacement \( \theta \) from radians to revolutions. Since one revolution corresponds to \( 2\pi \) radians, divide \( \theta \) by \( 2\pi \): \( \text{Revolutions} = \frac{\theta}{2\pi} \). This will give the total number of revolutions the fan completes while stopping.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Angular Velocity

Angular velocity is a measure of how quickly an object rotates around an axis, typically expressed in radians per second or revolutions per minute (rpm). In this scenario, the ceiling fan's initial angular velocity can be calculated from its given speed of 60 rpm, which can be converted to radians per second for further calculations.

Angular Deceleration

Angular deceleration refers to the rate at which an object's angular velocity decreases over time. When the fan is turned off, it experiences a negative angular acceleration, which can be calculated using the time it takes to stop and the initial angular velocity. This deceleration is crucial for determining how many revolutions the fan makes while coming to a stop.

Kinematic Equations for Rotational Motion

Kinematic equations for rotational motion are analogous to linear motion equations and relate angular displacement, initial angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time. These equations can be used to calculate the total number of revolutions the fan makes while stopping by integrating the effects of angular deceleration over the time interval of 25 seconds.
