Answer:
12.5 rad/s²
Explanation:
Angular Acceleration: This can be defined as the ratio of linear acceleration and radius. The S.I unit is rad/s²
From the question,
a = αr................... Equation 1
Where a = linear acceleration, α = angular acceleration, r = radius.
But,
a = (v-u)/t.............. Equation 2
Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
(v-u)/t = αr
make α the subject of the equation
α = (v-u)/tr................. Equation 3
Given: v = 30 m/s, u = 0 m/s, t = 6 s, r = 0.4 m
Substitute into equation 3
α = (30-0)/(0.4×6)
α = 30/2.4
α = 12.5 rad/s²
