Question
An saw blade starts from 5 rad/s and accelerates at 3 rad/s2 and covers 252 rad. Determine the time it takes.
Note, the formula will still have t and t2 so it's a quadratic equation, and we can use the quadratic formula. POSTED IN IMAGES
Steps:
- Simplify as much as possible and arrange in descending order - that is, get everything on one side of the equation with a zero on the other side and rearrange the terms so that t2 comes first, t comes second and the constant term is last
- the quad formula has a, b, and c which are the coefficients of the t2 term, the t term and the constant term including the positive or negative signs
- example:
- If 4 = 2 t + 1/2 (8) t2
- Simplify 1/2 (8) = 4, subtract 4 from both sides and rearrange the terms to get 0 = 4t2 + 2t - 4
- now a = 4, b = 2, c = -4
- plug these into the quadratic formula and get the two solutions, one when we use the + and the other when we use the - in the formula, just before the square root. Usually we want the positive solution
- (-2+√(22-4(4)(-4))).(2*4) = 0.78
- (-2-√(22-4(4)(-4))).(2*4) = -1.3
