An object with radius = 80 cm, starts from rest and rotates through
an angle of 900 degrees in 2 minutes.
Determine the angular displacement, in radians (use pi = 3.14, answer to 1 decimal place)

Respuesta :

The angular displacement in radians is 15.7 radians.

Angular displacement

The angular displacement of the object Δθ = θ - θ₀ where

  • θ = final position of the object and
  • θ₀ = initial position of the object.

Now since the object moves 900 degrees in 2 minutes, we convert this displacement to radians, since this is its final position.

So, θ = 900° = 900° × 2π/360°

= 90 × 2π/36

= 15 × 2π/6

= 5 × 2π/2

= 5π rad

Since the object starts from rest, θ₀  = 0 rad

The angular displacement, Δθ

So, the angular displacement, Δθ = θ - θ₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Δθ = θ - θ₀

Δθ =  5π - 0

Δθ =  5π

Δθ =  5 × 3.14

Δθ =  15.7 radians

So, the angular displacement in radians is 15.7 radians.
