# 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."
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 planet of constant mass orbits the sun in an elliptical orbit. Neglecting any friction effects, what happens to the planet’s rotational kinetic energy about the sun’s center?
A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at \( 500 \) \( \text{rpm} \) when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has a mass of \( 40 \) \( \text{kg} \) and a diameter of \( 75 \) \( \text{cm} \). The power is off for \( 30 \) \( \text{s} \) and during this time the flywheel slows due to friction in its axle bearings. During this time the flywheel makes \( 200 \) complete revolutions.
A system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a piece of clay moving toward it, as shown in the figure above. The outside edge of the disk is moving at a linear speed \( v \), and the clay is moving at speed \( \frac{v}{2} \). The clay sticks to the outside edge of the disk. How does the angular momentum of the system after the clay sticks compare to the angular momentum of the system before the clay sticks, and what is an explanation for the comparison?

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]
