Shortcut Methods
Shortcut Methods and Tricks for Vector Products- Angular Velocity and Angular Acceleration
1. Linear Velocity:
- Shortcut: Linear velocity (v) = Angular velocity (ω) × Radius (r).
- Trick: Remember the formula v = rω as a simple multiplication of angular velocity and radius.
2. Angular Acceleration:
- Shortcut: Angular acceleration (α) = (Final angular velocity (ωf) - Initial angular velocity (ωi)) / Time (t).
- Trick: Use the formula α = (ωf - ωi)/t to quickly calculate angular acceleration from given angular velocity changes over time.
3. Centripetal Force:
- Shortcut: Centripetal force (F) = Mass (m) × (Linear velocity)²/Radius (v² / r)
- Trick: Remember the formula F = mv²/r as the square of linear velocity divided by radius.
4. Number of Revolutions:
- Shortcut: Number of revolutions (N) = (Initial angular velocity (ωi) × Time (t)) / (2 × π).
- Tips: Use the formula N = (ωi × t)/(2π) to calculate the number of revolutions made before stopping.
5. Quick Conversions:
- To convert from RPM (revolutions per minute) to rad/s (radians per second): Multiply the RPM value by 2π/60.
Examples:
-
1000 RPM = (1000 × 2π/60) rad/s ≈ 104.72 rad/s
-
To convert from rad/s to RPM: Multiply the rad/s value by 60/2π.
Examples:
- 20 rad/s = (20 × 60/2π) RPM ≈ 191.94 RPM
These shortcuts and tricks will help you solve numericals related to vector products, angular velocity, and angular acceleration more efficiently and accurately.
