Answer to Question #140105 in Physics for Nielle

Question

A potter's wheel moves uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 1.00 rev/s in 30.0 s. (a) Find its average angular acceleration in radians per second per second. (b) Would doubling the angular acceleration during the given period have doubled the final angular speed?

Answer 1

a)

$$\alpha=\frac{1(2\pi)}{30}=0.209\frac{rad}{s^2}$$

b) Yes.
