Rubber is an insulator. Electricity will always travel "the path of least resistance." Rubber has a very high resistance, so electricity will go somewhere else to find ground.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 5.00 s, it rotates 13.9 rad. Du

Answer:

(a) Angular acceleration is 1.112 rad/s².

(b) Average angular velocity is 2.78 rad/s .

Explanation:

The equation of motion in Rotational kinematics is:

θ = θ₀ + 0.5αt²

Here θ is angular displacement at time t, θ₀ is angular displacement at time t=0, t is time and α is constant angular acceleration.

(a) According to the problem, θ is 13.9 rad, θ₀ is zero as it is at rest and t is 5 s. Put these values in the above equation:

13.9 = 0 + 0.5α(5)²

α = 1.112 rad/s²

(b) The equation of average angular velocity is:

ω = Δθ/Δt

ω = $\frac{13.9}{5}$

ω = 2.78 rad/s
