Experiment 07: Momentum and Collisions

Here are the steps to solve this problem: * The initial angular velocity is ω0 = 2πf0 = 2π(33 rad/min) = 33π rad/s * The angular acceleration is constant, so we can use the kinematic equation: ωf - ω0 = αt * Setting ωf = 0, we get: -33π = α(8) * α = -4.125 rad/s2 * Using τ = Iα, where I = 1.0 × 10-1 kg-m2: * τ = -1.0 × 10-1 kg-m2 × -4.125 rad/s2 = 4.125 N-m
