Answer:
a) α = 1.875
b) t = 8 s
Explanation:
Given:
ω1 = 0
ω2 = 15
theta (angular displacement) = 60 rad
*side note: you can replace regular, linear variables in kinematic equations with angular variables (must entirely replace equations with angular variables)*
a) α = ?
(ω2)^2 = (ω1)^2 + 2α(theta)
=
+ 2(α)(60)
225 = 120α
α = 1.875
b)
α = (ω2-ω1)/t
t = (ω2-ω1)/α = (15-0)/1.875 = 8
t = 8 s
