Question:

A ceiling fan rotates about its own axis with some angular velocity. When the fan is switched off, the angular velocity becomes $(\frac{1}{4})^{th}$ of the original in time ?t? and ?n? revolutions are made in that lime. The number of revolutions made by the fan during the time interval between switch off and rest are (Angular retardation is uniform)

Concepts Used:

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
