A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bumps in the groove run into the stylus, causing it to oscillate. The equipment converts those oscillations to electrical signals and then to sound. Suppose that a record turns at the rate of

- A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits radio pulses, one such pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is the time for one rotation. It is found by measuring the time between pulses. At present, the pulsar in the central region of the Crab nebula has a period of rotation of T = 0.033 s, and this is observed to be increasing at the rate of 1.26 x 10-5 s/y. What is the value of the angular acceleration in rad/s2? If its angular acceleration is constant, how many years from now will the pulsar stop rotating? The pulsar originated in a supernova explosion seen in the year A.D. 1054. What was T of the pulsar when it was born? (Assume constant angular acceleration since then.)arrow_forwardLong ago people listened to music which was stored on "phonograph records". These records turned at a rate of 33.3 revolutions per minute. Express this rotation rate in radians per second.arrow_forwardAn object moves in a circular path and rotate at a rate of 22 revolutions/s , then the periodic time is 0.25 s 0.04 s 1.21sarrow_forward

In a type of amusement park ride sometimes called the “Gravitron”, the people are spun around inside a large cylinder. If the rate of rotation is great enough the rider may “stick” to the inside wall of the cylinder with their feet not touching the floor. Suppose the radius of the cylinder is 2.0 m and that it rotates with a frequency of 1.1 Hz. (a) Determine the speed of a rider. (b) Determine the centripetal acceleration of a rider. (c) The force causing this acceleration is what type and exerted by what? (d) Determine the coefficient of friction that is necessary to keep a rider from sliding down the wall.arrow_forward

When the light Turns Green, the crank shaft rotation speeds at a constant rate to 2600 rpm over an interval of 2 sec. how many revolutions does the crank shaft make during these 2.0 seconds?arrow_forwardA car’s tachometer records the rotational frequency of the crankshaft.
