A potter's wheel of radius 11 cm starts from rest and rotates with constant angular accel- eration until at the end of 35 s it is moving with angular velocity of 19 rad/s. What is the angular acceleration? Answer in units of rad/s2.

Respuesta :

Answer:

angular acceleration = 0.54 rad/s/s

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the wheel is ZERO as it starts from rest

final angular speed is given as

[tex]\omega_f = 19 rad/s[/tex]

[tex]\Delta t = 35 s[/tex]

now we know that angular acceleration is rate of change in angular speed

[tex]\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}[/tex]

here we have

[tex]\alpha = \frac{19 - 0}{35}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.54 rad/s^2[/tex]
