Suppose you start riding your bicycle from rest, and the wheels reach an angular speed of 354 rpm in 5.4 seconds. How many complete revolutions do the wheels make in this time?
Initial angular speed of the wheels = 1 = 0 rad/s
Angular speed of the wheels after 5.4 sec = 2 = 354 rpm = 354 x (2/60) rad/s = 37.071 rad/s
Time period = T = 5.4 sec
Angular acceleration of the wheel =
2 = 1 + T
37.071 = 0 + (5.4)
= 6.865 rad/s2
Angle through which the wheels rotate in 5.4 sec =
22 = 12 + 2
(37.071)2 = (0)2 + 2(6.865)
= 100.1 rad
Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 5.4 sec = n
n = 15.93 rev
Number of revolutions made by the wheel in this time = 15.93 rev
