Angular velocity in the z direction of a flywheel is w(t)=A + Bt2 The numerical values of the constants are A=2.75 and B=1.50. What is the angular acceleration α(t) when t=0s and t=5.00s?

α(0) = 0 rad/s²

α(5) = 15 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the flywheel is given as follows:

w(t) = A + B t²

where, A and B are constants.

Now, for the angular acceleration, we must take derivative of angular velocity with respect to time:

Angular Acceleration = α (t) = dw/dt

α(t) = (d/dt)(A + B t²)

α(t) = 2 B t

where,

B = 1.5

AT t = 0 s

α(0) = 2(1.5)(0)

α(0) = 0 rad/s²

AT t = 5 s

α(5) = 2(1.5)(5)

α(5) = 15 rad/s²
