# Part (a): At what time does the motor reverse direction?
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]\omega = 20 – \frac{1}{2}t^2[/katex] | Given the angular velocity of the electric motor as a function of time. |
| 2 | [katex]\omega = 0[/katex] | To find the time when the motor reverses direction, set the angular velocity [katex]\omega[/katex] equal to zero. |
| 3 | [katex]0 = 20 – \frac{1}{2}t^2[/katex] | Substitute [katex]\omega = 0[/katex] into the given angular velocity equation. |
| 4 | [katex]\frac{1}{2}t^2 = 20 [/katex] | Rearrange the equation to solve for [katex]t^2[/katex]. |
| 5 | [katex]t^2 = 40[/katex] | Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate [katex]t^2[/katex]. |
| 6 | [katex]t = \sqrt{40}[/katex] | Solve for [katex]t[/katex] by taking the square root of both sides. Include only the positive root because time cannot be negative. |
| 7 | [katex]t = \boxed{6.32 \, \text{s}}[/katex] | Final answer: The motor reverses direction at [katex] t = 6.32 \, \text{s} [/katex]. |
# Part (b): Through what angle does the motor turn between [katex]t=0 \, \text{s}[/katex] and [katex]t=8 \, \text{s}[/katex]?
Note – If you haven’t learned calculus yet, plot the given \( \omega\) v \(t\) equation. Then approximate the area bound by the line and the x axis, up to the 8 second mark. This area represents the angular displacement of the motor.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]\theta = \int_0^t \omega \, dt[/katex] | The angle [katex]\theta[/katex] through which the motor turns is the integral of angular velocity over time. |
| 2 | [katex]\theta = \int_0^8 \left(20 – \frac{1}{2} t^2 \right) dt [/katex] | Substitute the given angular velocity expression into the integral and set the limits from [katex] t = 0 \, \text{s} [/katex] to [katex] t = 8 \, \text{s} [/katex]. |
| 3 | [katex]\theta = \left[ 20t – \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{t^3}{3} \right]_0^8[/katex] | Integrate the expression term by term: [katex]\int 20 \, dt = 20t[/katex] and [katex]\int -\frac{1}{2}t^2 \, dt = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{t^3}{3}[/katex]. |
| 4 | [katex]\theta = \left[ 20t – \frac{t^3}{6} \right]_0^8 [/katex] | Simplify the integrated expression. |
| 5 | [katex]\theta = \left( 20 \times 8 – \frac{8^3}{6}\right) – \left( 20 \times 0 – \frac{0^3}{6} \right)[/katex] | Evaluate the expression at the limits: [katex] t = 8 \, \text{s} [/katex] and [katex] t = 0 \, \text{s} [/katex]. |
| 6 | [katex]\theta = \left( 160 – \frac{512}{6} \right) – 0[/katex] | Simplify and calculate the values. |
| 7 | [katex]\theta = 160 – 85.33[/katex] | Subtract the second term from the first term to find the angle. |
| 8 | [katex]\theta = \boxed{74.67 \, \text{rad}}[/katex] | The motor turns through an angle of [katex] 74.67 \, \text{rad} [/katex] between [katex] t = 0 \, \text{s} [/katex] and [katex] t = 8 \, \text{s} [/katex]. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
An object is experiencing a nonzero net force. Which of the following statements is most accurate?
A hoop with a mass [katex]m[/katex] and unknown radius is rolling without slipping on a flat surface with an angular speed [katex]\omega[/katex]. The hoop encounters a hill and continues to roll without slipping until it reaches a maximum height [katex]h[/katex].
The rotating systems, shown in the figure above, differ only in that the two identical movable masses are positioned a distance r from the axis of rotation (left), or a distance r/2 from the axis of rotation (right). What happens if you release the hanging blocks simultaneously from rest?
A disk of radius 35 cm rotates at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad/s. How fast does a point on the rim of the disk travel (in m/s)?
Consider a rigid body that is rotating. Which of the following is an accurate statement?

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
