An electric motor rotating a grinding wheel at 100 rev/min is switched off. The wheel then moves with a constant negative angular acceleration of magnitude 2.00 rad/s2. (a) During what time interval does the wheel come to rest? (b) Through how many radians does it turn while it is slowing down?

Answer:

a) Angular velocity = 2pi*N/60

= 2pi*100 / 60 = 10.47 rad/s

\alpha = -2 rad/s2

w = wo + \alphat

0 = 10.47 - 2t

t = 5.24 s

b) w^2  = wo^2 +2 \alpha\theta

0 = 10.47^2 + 2*-2*\theta

\theta =27.4 rad
