# 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."
A horizontal, uniform board of weight 125 N and length 4 m is supported by vertical chains at each end. A person weighing 500 N is sitting on the board. The tension in the right chain is 250 N. How far from the left end of the board is the person sitting?
A force of 17 N is applied to the end of a 0.63-m long torque wrench at an angle 45° from a line joining the pivot point to the handle. What is the magnitude of the torque about the pivot point produced by this force?
In the figure above, the marble rolls down the track and around a loop-the-loop of radius \( R \). The marble has mass \( m \) and radius \( r \). What minimum height \( h_{min} \) must the track have for the marble to make it around the loop-the-loop without falling off? Express your answer in terms of the variables \( R \) and \( r \).
Two forces produce equal torques on a door about the door hinge. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; the second force is applied at the doorknob. Both forces are applied perpendicular to the door. Which force has a greater magnitude?
A construction worker spins a square sheet of metal of mass 0.040 kg with an angular acceleration of 10.0 rad/s2 on a vertical spindle (pin).

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]
