Answer all questions in this section.
0 1 The rotating part of an electric motor is called the rotor.
Figure 1 shows an end view of a rotor turning clockwise due to a driving torque from
the motor. In this question, the clockwise direction is treated as positive.
Figure 1 Figure 2
The rotor can be brought to rest rapidly by reversing the electrical supply connections
to the motor. Figure 2 shows the rotor at time t = 0 when the supply connections are
reversed.
The rotor then slows down due to a constant anticlockwise retarding torque so that it
stops at time t = t1.
The angular velocity of the rotor at t = 0 is 98.0 rad s−1 clockwise.
The applied torque on the rotor at t = 0 is anticlockwise.
The applied torque produces a constant angular acceleration of −303 rad s−2.
Friction torque is negligible.
0 1 . 1 Determine t1.
