Kinematics Question 557
Question: When a ceiling fan is switched off it’s angular velocity reduces to 50% while it makes 36 rotations.How many more rotation will it make before coming to rest (Assume uniform angular retardation)[KCET 2001]
Options:
A) 18
B)12
C) 36
D) 48
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
By using equation
therefore
Now let fan completes total n¢ revolution from the starting to come to rest
therefore
substituting the value of a from equation (i)
revolution Number of rotation = 48 - 36 = 12
