Answer:
a) The change in the tire’s angular velocity is 5 rads/sec
b) The tire’s average angular acceleration is 4 rad/s²
Explanation:
initial angular speed , ω (initial) = - 2.5 rad/s
final speed , ω (final) = 2.5 rad/s
time = 1.25 s
a) The change in tire's angular speed
ω = ω (final) - ω (initial)
ω = 2.5 - ( -2.5) rad/s
ω = 2.5 + 2.5 (rad/s)
ω = 5 rad/s
b) The average angular acceleration
a = ω ÷ t
a = 5 rad/s ÷ 1.25 s
a = 4 rad/s²
