a uniform disk of radius 0.5 m is rotating around its center with angular velocity 4 , and angular acceleration 3.4 . a spec of dust is stuck on the disk at a distance of 0.33 from the center. what is the linear acceleration of the dust spec? answer in units of , round your answer to two decimal places.

Sagot :

The linear acceleration of the disk is [tex]8.17 m/s^{2}[/tex].

We know that, a rotating disk has two acceleration:

                       Radial acceleration ([tex]a_{r}[/tex]) = ω^2 * r  and  

                       Tangential acceleration[tex](a_{t} )[/tex] = [tex]\alpha r[/tex]

where ω = angular velocity

           [tex]\alpha[/tex] = angular velocity

           r = radius

Given, ω = 4 m/s , [tex]\alpha[/tex] = 3.4 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex] , r = 0.5m

Putting these values in above equation we get

           [tex]a_{r} = 8 m/s^{2} \\a_{t} = 1.7 m/s^{2}[/tex]

The linear acceleration is given by:

           [tex]a = \sqrt{a_{r} ^{2} + a_{t} ^{2} }[/tex]

Putting respected values in above equation we get a = 8.17 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex].

So the linear acceleration of the disk is [tex]8.17 m/s^{2}[/tex].
