A carousel - a horizontal rotating platform - of radius r is initially at rest, and then begins to accelerate constantly until it has reached angular velocity after 2 complete revolutions. What is the angular acceleration of the carousel during this time

Respuesta :

Answer:

α = (ω²)/8π

Explanation:

The angular acceleration(α) of the carousel can be determined by using rotational kinematics:

ω² =ωo² + 2αθ

Let's make α the subject of this equation ;

ω² - ωo² = 2αθ

α = (ω² −ωo²)/2θ

Now, from the question, since initially at rest, thus, ωo = 0

Also,since 2 revolutions, thus, θ = 2 x 2π = 4π since one revolution is 2π

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

α = (ω²)/2(4π)

α = (ω²)/8π
