Can someone please help me with this: A wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 3.45 rad/s2. Assume the angular speed of the wheel is 1.90 rad/s at ti = 0. (a) Find the angle through which the wheel rotates between t = 2.00 s and t = 3.80 s. (b) Find the angular speed when t = 3.80 s. (c) What is the magnitude of the angular speed FIVE revolutions following t = 3.80 s? I NEED HELP WITH PART C. Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see if you can get C on your own...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use results from the first three parts...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know where to start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have omega i, alpha and theta... you want to find omega f. which equation is going to work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you only have four choices, so it shouldn't be too hard...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I converted five revolutions into radians then solved Wi t + 1/2at^2 for t. then I used t in Wi + at = W but its not the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\omega^2 _{f}=\omega^2 _{i} +2 \alpha \theta \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 5 rev.s = 10pi radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

initial omega is the result you found in B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alpha is 3.45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So θ in this equation would be 10pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep
