Consider two particles A and B. The angular position of particle A, with constant angular acceleration, depends on time according to theta(t)=theta_0+omega_0t+0.5alpha t^2. At time t=t_1, particle B, which also undergoes constant angular accelaration, has twice the angular acceleration, half the angular velocity, and the same angular position that particle A had at time t=0.
How long after the time t_1 does the angular velocity of B have to be to equal A's?
___
ok, here we go:
i know that i have to write expressions for the angular velocity of A and B as functions of time, and solve for t-t1???
For A, omega(t) = omega_0 + alpha(t) and
for B, omega(t) = 0.5 omega_0 + 2alpha(t-t_1)
so when i equate them and solve for t-t_1, i get something that is not the right answer!
please help :(
