Answer:

(B) 15 N.m

Explanation:

The deceleration of the wheel is first found by using the following formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where,

α = angular acceleration = ?

ωf = final angular speed = 0 rad/s

ωi = initial angular speed = 12 rad/s

t = time = 0.4 s

Therefore,

\alpha = \frac{0\ rad/s - 12\ rad/s}{0.4\ s}\\\\\alpha = -30\ rad/s^2

here, the negative sign shows deceleration.

Now, we find the torque responsible for this deceleration:

\tau = I\alpha

where,

τ = torque = ?

I = rotational inertia = 0.5 kg.m²

Therefore,

\tau = (0.5\ kg.m^2)(30\ rad/s^2)\\

τ = 15 N.m

Therefore, the correct answer is:

<u>(B) 15 N.m</u>
