Q. The angular speed of a motor wheel is increased from 1200 rpm $ω_{0} = 1200$ rpm to 3120 rpm $ω_{1} = 3120$ rpm in 16 s $Δ t = 16$ s. Assuming the angular acceleration is uniform, how many revolutions does the engine make during this time?

The solution

Solved with RotationalKinematics

Given

$ω_{0} = 1200$ rpm
$ω_{1} = 3120$ rpm
$Δ t = 16$ s

Find $n_{rev}$ .

Working

$ω_{0} = 1200$ rpm $= 125.663706$ rad/s
$ω_{1} = 3120$ rpm $= 326.725636$ rad/s
angular velocity after a time(speeding up) $ω_{1} = ω_{0} + α_{r} \cdot Δ t$
$326.725636 = 125.663706 + α_{r} \cdot 16$
$α_{r} = 12.5663706$ rad/s²
angle after a time(speeding up) $θ = ω_{0} \cdot Δ t + \frac{α_{r} \cdot {Δ t}^{2}}{2}$
$θ = 125.663706 \cdot 16 + \frac{12.5663706 \cdot 16^{2}}{2}$
$θ = 3619.11474$
turns in an angle(speeding up) $n_{rev} = \frac{θ}{2 \cdot π}$
$n_{rev} = \frac{3619.11474}{2 \cdot 3.14159265}$
$n_{rev} = 576$
$n_{rev} \approx 576$ to 3 significant figures

Conclusion

With a steady angular acceleration the wheel turns as if at the mean of its two speeds for the whole time.
