Motion In Straight Line

Question
CBSEENPH11026279

When a ceiling fan is switched on, it makes 10 revolution in the first 3 s. Assuming a uniform angular acceleration, how many rotation it will make in the next 3 s

  • 10

  • 20

  • 30

  • 40

Solution

C.

30

Angle turned in three second and θ1 s = 2 n x 10

       = 20 π rad

According to the kinematic equation of Rotational motion

        θ1 = ωo t + 12 αt2

       20 π = 0 + 12α 32

         α = 40 π9rad/s2

Now, angle turned in 6 s from the starting

        θ2 = ωo t + 12 αt2

             = 0 + 12 × 40π9 + 62

       θ2 = 80 π rad

Since angle turned between t = 3 s to t = 6 s

       θlost =   θ2 -  θ1

           = 80π - 20 π

     θlost =  60 π 

Number of revolution = 60π2π 

                             = 30 

Hence Number of revolution in next 3s is 30
