On a gusty windy day, the blades of a wind turbine are turning at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute when suddenly the brakes are applied to stop the turbine to avoid failure. If the brakes cause a deceleration of 2 rad / s ?, How long would it take for the blades of the wind turbine to come to rest?

In an experiment to test Newton’s second law of motion, we measure the acceleration of two masses (2 kg, and 3 kg.) which are attached to the two ends of a rope that passes over a pulley, as in an Atwood’s machine. What is the theoretical acceleration (a) if the pulley has no mass, (b) if the pulley has a mass of 0.5 kg.?
Applying principles of dynamics, with step by step solutions pls (i give 5 stars) A freighter is moving at a speed of 8 nautical miles per hour. The engines then had to be suddenly stopped. If it takes 10 minutes for the freighter to reduce its speed to 3 knots, determine the distance moved by the ship and its speed at the end of this interval. The deceleration of the ship is propor-tional to the square of its speed such that a = -kV^2.
You are called as an expert witness in a trial for a traffic violation. The facts are these: A driver slammed on his brakes and came to a stop with constant acceleration. Measurements of his tires and the skid marks on the pavement indicate that he locked his car’s wheels, the car traveled 192 ft before stopping, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and his tires was 0.750. He was charged with speeding in a 45 mi>h zone but pleads innocent. What is your conclusion: guilty or innocent? How fast was he going when he hit his brakes?
Specifically a dynamics problem: A sphere is fired downward into a medium with an initial speed of 27 m/s. If it experiences a deceleration of a = -6t m/s2, determine the distance traveled before it stops.
A train travels between two stations 792 m apart in a minimum time of 41 seconds. If the train accelerates and decelerates at 2.4 m/s, starting from rest at the first station and coming to a stop at the second station, what is the maximum speed?
In a physics lab experiment, you release a small steelball at various heights above the ground and measure the ball’s speedjust before it strikes the ground. You plot your data on a graph that hasthe release height (in meters) on the vertical axis and the square of thefinal speed (in m2/s2) on the horizontal axis. In this graph your datapoints lie close to a straight line. (a) Using g = 9.80 m/s2 and ignoringthe effect of air resistance, what is the numerical value of the slope ofthis straight line? (Include the correct units.) The presence of air resistancereduces the magnitude of the downward acceleration, and the effectof air resistance increases as the speed of the object increases. Yourepeat the experiment, but this time with a tennis ball as the object beingdropped. Air resistance now has a noticeable effect on the data. (b) Isthe final speed for a given release height higher than, lower than, or thesame as when you ignored air resistance? (c) Is the graph of the releaseheight…
A disk rotating with constant acceleration of 0.005 revolutions / s2 And the movement starts from rest. What is the angle velocity after one minute? How many turns makes the same disc in point number one after one minute. If an external force does not affect the body, what does that mean? And if the body is in free fall, is its speed constant or variable, what is its acceleration equal, and how can the friction be reduced between the contact surfaces

A hockey puck of mass 162 grams slides toward Brett with a velocity of -15 meters per second. Brett whacks the puck directly away from himself with his stick, applying force as shown on the graph below. His maximum force is 33 newtons, and each tic mark on the time axis represents 1/10th of a second. What is the final velocity of the puck? Include units in your answer. More information.
