Step-by-step solution

Here's the solution to the problem:

Part a· 3 steps

Its average angular velocity in rad/s.

  1. Convert the total revolutions to radians.

    We know that 1 revolution=2π radians1 \text{ revolution} = 2\pi \text{ radians}.

    Δθ=1800 rev×2π rad1 rev=3600π rad\Delta \theta = 1800 \text{ rev} \times \frac{2\pi \text{ rad}}{1 \text{ rev}} = 3600\pi \text{ rad}
  2. Convert the time from minutes to seconds.

    We know that 1 min=60 s1 \text{ min} = 60 \text{ s}.

    Δt=1.0 min×60 s1 min=60 s\Delta t = 1.0 \text{ min} \times \frac{60 \text{ s}}{1 \text{ min}} = 60 \text{ s}
  3. Calculate the average angular velocity (ω\omega).

    The formula for average angular velocity is ω=ΔθΔt\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}.

    ω=3600π rad60 s=60π rad/s\omega = \frac{3600\pi \text{ rad}}{60 \text{ s}} = 60\pi \text{ rad/s} ω≈60×3.14159 rad/s≈188.495 rad/s\omega \approx 60 \times 3.14159 \text{ rad/s} \approx 188.495 \text{ rad/s}

    The average angular velocity is 60π rad/s\boxed{60\pi \text{ rad/s}} or approximately 188.5 rad/s\boxed{188.5 \text{ rad/s}}.

Part b

900π rad900\pi \text{ rad}

Through how many radians does the wheel turn in 15 seconds.

  1. Use the angular velocity calculated in part (a) and the new time.

    We have ω=60π rad/s\omega = 60\pi \text{ rad/s} and Δt′=15 s\Delta t' = 15 \text{ s}.
    The formula for angular displacement is Δθ=ω×Δt′\Delta \theta = \omega \times \Delta t'.

    Δθ=(60π rad/s)×(15 s)\Delta \theta = (60\pi \text{ rad/s}) \times (15 \text{ s})
  2. Calculate the total angular displacement.

    Δθ=900π rad\Delta \theta = 900\pi \text{ rad} Δθ≈900×3.14159 rad≈2827.43 rad\Delta \theta \approx 900 \times 3.14159 \text{ rad} \approx 2827.43 \text{ rad}

    The wheel turns through 900π rad\boxed{900\pi \text{ rad}} or approximately 2827 rad\boxed{2827 \text{ rad}} in 15 seconds.
