20N.3.SL.TZ0.6d

A bar rotates horizontally about its centre, reaching a maximum angular velocity in six complete rotations from rest. The bar has a constant angular acceleration of $0.110 rad s^{- 2}$ . The moment of inertia of the bar about the axis of rotation is $0.0216 kg m^{2}$ .

(d)

The torque is removed. The bar comes to rest in $30$ complete rotations with constant angular deceleration. Determine the time taken for the bar to come to rest.

Markscheme

$α = \frac{2 . 9^{2}}{2 \times 2 π \times 30} =$ OR $- 0.022 « rad s^{- 2} »$ ✓

$t « = \frac{ω_{f} - ω_{i}}{α} = \frac{- 2.9}{- 0.0220} » = 130 « s »$ ✓

Other methods are possible.

Allow $131 s$ if $2.88$ used

Allow $126 s$ if $3$ used
