rev/min in a time of 10.0 s.

a) Determine the initial and final angular velocities in radians/second.

b) Assuming the angular acceleration was uniform, what was the angular acceleration (in rad/s2) during the 10.0
seconds?

c) How many revolutions did the wheel make during the 10.0 seconds?

d) If the wheel has a radius of 0.40 m, what was the linear (tangential) speed of a point at the edge of the wheel
after the 10.0 s?
