Question 48
MotionA gramophone record takes 5s to reach its constant angular velocity of 4π rads−1 from rest. Find its constant angular acceleration.
- A.20.0π rads−2.
- B.1.3π rads−2.
- C.0.8π rads−2.
- D.0.4π rads−2.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (0.8π rads−2.)
Explanation
Angular acceleration = change in angular velocity ÷ time = 4π ÷ 5 = 0.8π rad s−2.
