10.1 Exercise 11

Avg difficulty 2.5

Unreasonable results. The propeller of an aircraft is spinning at 10 rev/s when the pilot shuts off the engine. The propeller reduces its angular velocity at a constant 2.0rad/s22.0 \text{rad} / \text{s}^{2} for a time period of 40 s. What is the rotation rate of the propeller in 40 s? Is this a reasonable situation?
