Answer:
20138 rad/s2
Explanation:
We can convert 500 revolution per minute to radians per second
[tex]\omega = 500rev/min*2\pi rad/rev *\frac{1}{60}min/sec = 52.36 rad/s[/tex]
If the CD is coming to rest at a constant angular acceleration within 2.6 ms (or 0.0026s), this means:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{\delta\omega}{\deltat} = \frac{52.36 - 0}{0.0026} = 20138 rad/s^2[/tex]
