Hello!

$\large\boxed{-2m/s^{2} }$

Find the acceleration using the formula a = (vf - vi) / t where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Plug in the points above:

vf = +10 m/s

vi = +20 m/s

t = 5 sec

(10 - 20) / 5 = -10 / 5 = -2 m/s²

Answer:

The angular speed after 6s is $\omega = 1466.67s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

The equation

$I\alpha = Fd$

relates the moment of inertia $I$ of a rigid body, and its angular acceleration $\alpha$ , with the force applied $F$ at a distance $d$ from the axis of rotation.

In our case, the force applied is $F = 22N$ , at a distance $d = 6cm =0.06m$ , to a ring with the moment of inertia of $I =mr^2$ ; therefore, the angular acceleration is
