A wind turbine is rotating counterclockwise at 0.78 rev/s and slows to a stop in 21 s. Its blades are 27 m in length. (a) What is the angular acceleration of the turbine (in rad/s2)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) |-0.233 v rad/s2 (b) What is the centripetal acceleration (in m/s) of the tip of the blades at t = 0? (Enter the magnitude. Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) X m/s2 648.27 (c) What is the magnitude (in m/s) of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades at t = 0? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) 648.30 x m/s? What is the angle that this total linear acceleration vector makes with the centripetal acceleration vector? (Enter the magnitude of the smallest such angle in degrees.) 0.56
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
