A helicopter blade spins at exactly 110 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 4.50 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate the average speed (in m/s) of the blade tip in the helicopter's frame of reference. m/s
(b) What is its average velocity (in m/s) over one revolution? m/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity = 110 rev/m

Radius = 4.50 m

(a). We need to calculate the average speed

Using formula of average speed

[tex]v=r\omega[/tex]

[tex]v = 4.50\times110\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}[/tex]

[tex]v=51.83\ m/s[/tex]

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero because the net displacement is zero in one revolution.

Hence, (a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.
