| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(\alpha = 2\pi \, \text{rad/s}^2\) | Given angular acceleration. |
| 2 | \(r = 2 \, \text{m}\) | Given radius of the wheel. |
| 3 | \(t = 3 \, \text{s}\) | Given time period over which the wheel accelerates. |
| 4 | \(\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\) | Formula for angular displacement. Here, \( \omega_i \) is the initial angular velocity which is zero because the wheel is initially at rest. |
| 5 | \(\theta = 0 \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2\pi \cdot (3)^2\) | Substituting the given values into the formula. Since \( \omega_i = 0 \), the first term vanishes. |
| 6 | \(\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2\pi \cdot 9\) | Simplifying the expression for angular displacement. |
| 7 | \(\theta = 9\pi \, \text{rad}\) | Calculate the angular displacement after 3 seconds. |
| 8 | \(\Delta x = r \theta\) | Formula for linear displacement, utilizing the relationship between linear and angular displacement. |
| 9 | \(\Delta x = 2 \cdot 9\pi\) | Substituting the values of \( r \) and \( \theta \) to find the linear displacement. |
| 10 | \(\Delta x = 18\pi \, \text{m}\) | Final calculation of the distance traveled by the wheel after 3 seconds. |
| 11 | Option (d) | The correct answer is \( 18\pi \, \text{m} \). This corresponds to choice (d). |

Three wagons have identical total mass (including their wheels) and each has four wheels. However, the wheels on each wagon have different designs with varying mass distributions and radii as shown in a reference chart. When accelerating each wagon from a standstill to \( 10 \) \( \text{m/s} \), which wagon requires the most energy input?
The angular velocity of a rotating disk of radius \(20 \, \text{cm}\) increases from \(1 \, \text{rad/s}\) to \(3 \, \text{rad/s}\) in \(0.5 \, \text{s}\). What is the linear tangential acceleration of a point on the rim of the disk during this time interval?
When is the angular momentum of a system constant?
A rod may freely rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to the rod and is along the plane of the page. The rod is divided into four sections of equal length of 0.2 m each, and four forces are exerted on the rod, as shown in the figure. Frictional forces are considered negligible. Which of the following describes an additional torque that must be applied in order to keep the rod from rotating?
Two masses, \( m_y = 32 \) \( \text{kg} \) and \( m_z = 38 \) \( \text{kg} \), are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius \( R = 0.311 \) \( \text{m} \) and mass \( 3.1 \) \( \text{kg} \). Initially, \( m_y \) is on the ground and \( m_z \) rests \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground.

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]
