A wheel turns through 5.5 revolutions while being accelerated from rest at 20rpm/s.(a) What is the final angular speed ? (b) How long does it take to turn the 5.5 revolutions?

(a) The final angular speed is 12.05 rad/s

(b) The time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is 5.74 s

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolutions, θ = 5.5 revolutions

acceleration of the wheel, α = 20 rpm/s

number of revolutions in radian is given as;

θ = 5.5 x 2π = 34.562 rad

angular acceleration in rad/s² is given as;

(a)

The final angular speed is given as;

(b) the time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is given as
