Angular Speed of a Pulley. Two pulleys, $50 \mathrm{cm}$ and $30 \mathrm{cm}$ in diameter, respectively, are connected by a belt. The larger pulley makes 12 revolutions per minute. Find the angular speed of the smaller pulley, in radians per second. (GRAPH CANT COPY)

A pulley of 5 cm radius on a motor is turning at 30 rev/s and slows down uniformly to 20 rev/s in 2 s. Calculate (a) the angular acceleration of the motor (b) the number of revolutions it makes in this time, and (c) the length of belt it winds in this time.
