Figure 10-20 is a graph of the angular velocity versus time for a disk rotating like a merry-go-round. For a point on the disk rim, rank the instants a, b, c, and d according to the magnitude of the (a) tangential and (b) radial acceleration, greatest first.

Question
A disk rotates at constant angular acceleration, from angular position \(\theta_{1}\)= 10.0 rad to angular position \(\theta_{2}\)= 70.0 rad in 6.00 s. Its angular velocity at \(\theta_{2}\) is 15.0 rad/s. (a) What was its angular velocity at \(\theta_{1})? (b) What is the angular acceleration? (c) At what angular position was the disk initially at rest? (d) Graph \(\theta)versus time t and angular speed \({\omega}\) versus t for the disk, from the beginning of the motion (let t = 0 then).

Solution
The first step in solving 10 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A disk rotates at constant angular acceleration, from angular position \(\theta_{1}\)= 10.0 rad to angular position \(\theta_{2}\)= 70.0 rad in 6.00 s. Its angular velocity at \(\theta_{2}\) is 15.0 rad/s. (a) What was its angular velocity at \(\theta_{1})? (b) What is the angular acceleration? (c) At what angular position was the disk initially at rest? (d) Graph \(\theta)versus time t and angular speed \({\omega}\) versus t for the disk, from the beginning of the motion (let t = 0 then).Text Transcription:theta_1theta_2thetaomega
