10.2 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

A circular disk of radius 10 cm has a constant angular acceleration of 1.0rad/s21.0 \text{rad} / \text{s}^{2}; at t=0t = 0 its angular velocity is 2.0 rad/s. (a) Determine the disk’s angular velocity at t=5.0st = 5.0 \text{s}. (b) What is the angle it has rotated through during this time? (c) What is the tangential acceleration of a point on the disk at t=5.0s?t = 5.0 \text{s} ?
