The drill used by most dentists today is powered by a small air-turbine that can operate at angular speeds of 35 rpm. these drills, along with ultrasonic dental drills, are the fastest turbines in the world-far exceeding the angular speeds of jet engines. suppose a drill starts at rest and comes up to operating speed in 2.2 show many revolutions does the drill bit make as it comes up to speed? (rev)express your answer using two significant figures.

θ  = 6.3 *10³ revolutions

Explanation:

Angular acceleration of the drill

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated

ωf= ω₀ + α*t  Formula (1)

Where:  

α : Angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω₀ : Initial angular speed ( rad/s)  

ωf : Final angular speed ( rad

t :  time interval (s)

Data

ω₀ = 0

ωf = 350000 rpm = 350000 rev/min

1 rev = 2π rad

1 min= 60 s

ωf = 350000 rev/min =350000*(2π rad/60 s)

ωf = 36651.9 rad/s

t = 2.2 s

We replace data in the formula (2) :

ωf= ω₀ + α*t

36651.9 = 0 + α* (2.2)

α = 36651.9 / (2.2)

α = 17000 rad/s²

Revolutions made by the drill

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated

ωf²= ω₀ ²+ 2α*θ Formula (2)

Where:  

θ : Angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

We replace data in the formula (2):  

(ωf)²= ω₀²+ 2α*θ

(36651.9)²= (0)²+ 2( 17000 )*θ

θ = (36651.9)²/ (34000 )

θ  = 39510.64 rad = 39510.64 rad* (1 rev/2πrad)

θ  = 6288.31 revolutions

θ  = 6.3 *10³ revolutions
