Angular Velocity and Acceleration graph

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining angular displacement and acceleration from a given graph. For angular displacement during the 4 seconds of motion, the area under the graph is the correct method to calculate it. There is confusion regarding which angular velocity (ω) value to use for calculations, with participants debating whether it should be constant or varying. For angular acceleration between t=2 and t=4, it is clarified that the acceleration is constant, despite some initial uncertainty. Understanding the relationship between velocity and acceleration on a graph is emphasized as crucial for solving these problems.

Homework Statement



04.EX32.jpg

A.) For the graph above what is the angular displacement during the 4 seconds of motion?
B.) For the graph above what is the angular acceleration from t=2 to t=4?

Homework Equations


α = at / r
α = ω / t
α = Θ / t^2
ω = Θ / t
ω = v / r
Θ = ω t + 0.5 α t^2

The Attempt at a Solution



A.) I used ω = Θ / t
rearranged it to ωt = Θ

but my issue is what ω do i use? 0, 10, 20? anything in between? And is this even the right equation to use?

B.) Isn't it not accelerating between t2 and t4? Or is it constant acceleration?
How i went about it is i used α = ω / t
since the time is 2 seconds, and the ω is 20. i got 10, but that was wrong :(

fixed it
 
For the first part it is the area under the graph.
For the second part the angular acceleration is constant.

Do you know how to find the distance moved from a velocity-time graph?

α = ω / t
Quoting formulae is of little use unless you know what the terms in the formulae represent. E.g. a=v/t is more informatively written as aavg=Δv/Δt. I.e. the average acceleration is the increase in velocity divided by the elapsed time.

True, but of the choice

that response could be misleading.
@df102015 , what do you look at on a velocity-time graph to deduce the acceleration?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
