Step 1
2 meters - Angular velocity = 200 rev/min a) To find the angular velocity in rad/sec: Angular velocity = 200 rev/min * (2π rad/rev) / (60 sec/min) = 20.94 rad/sec Show more…

A flywheel with a diameter of $1.20 \mathrm{~m}$ is rotating at an angular speed of 200 rev/min. (a) What is the angular speed of the flywheel in radians per second? (b) What is the linear speed of a point on the rim of the flywheel? (c) What constant angular acceleration (in revolutions per minute-squared) will increase the wheel's angular speed to 1000 rev/min in $60.0 \mathrm{~s}$ ? (d) How many revolutions does the wheel make during that $60.0 \mathrm{~s}$ ?

A flywheel with a diameter of 1.00m and initially rotating at an angular speed of 500 revolutions per minute (rpm)changes its angular speed at 1000 rpm after 20.0s. Assuming a constant angular acceleration, find a.its value in (rad/s2), b.the angle through which the flywheel turns in moving from 500 rpm to 1000 rpm. (in degrees) c.the acceleration of any point on the rim(m/s2).
