A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 3.10 rad/s. During a time period Δt = 2.40 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the opposite (clockwise) direction, also at 3.10 rad/s. Calculate the change in the tire's angular velocity Δω and the tire's average angular acceleration αav. (Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.)

(a) the change in the tire's angular velocity Δω (in rad/s)

(b) the tire's average angular acceleration αav (in rad/s2)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Let us consider the counter clockwise direction as positive and the clockwise direction as negative.

Initial angular velocity of the tire = 1 = +3.1 rad/s

Final angular velocity of the tire = 2 = -3.1 rad/s

Time period = t = 2.4 sec

Change in the tire's angular velocity =

= -6.2 rad/s

The negative sign indicates it is directed along the clockwise direction.

Average angular acceleration of the tire = av

av = -2.58 rad/s2

The negative sign indicates it is directed along the clockwise direction.

a) Change in the tire's angular velocity = -6.2 rad/s

b) Average angular acceleration of the tire = -2.58 rad/s2

Japans bubble economy in the time period 1985-1990. What did the government do during this time to either help or hinder the improvement of the economy? Consider what policies were put in place by the government. This is where you will discuss fiscal policy, monetary policy, and supply side policy (most countries don't actively use supply-side policy, so if the country you are focusing on did not use supply side policy, you don't need to discuss it here). What was...
