A 61 cm diameter wheel accelerated uniformly about its center from 120 rpm to 280 rpm in 4.0 seconds. Determine the Angular acceleration
So I converted the 120 and 280 rev per min to radians per s with 45238.93 rad/s and 105557.51 rad/s and used them as angular velocity final and initial. then I subtracted the final from the initial and divided it by the time (4 sec)
Equation used angular acceleration (fish) = change in angular velocity/time
Answer gotten: 15 x 103 rad/s2 with sig figs.
on the answer sheet= 4.2 rad/s2
