A ball rolls from rest to an angular velocity of 4 radians per second. The angle it turns through is 4 radians. What was the angular acceleration of the ball? A. 16 radians/second2 B. 0.5 radians/second2 C. 8 radians/second2 D. 2 radians/second2
Initial angular velocity,
i = 0
Final angular velocity,
f = 4 rad/s
Distance traveled,
= 4 rad
Consider the angular acceleration be
.
Using the equation, (f)2
- (i)2
= 2,
= [(f)2
- (i)2]
/ 2
Substituting the values,
= [16 - 0] / [2 x 4]
= 2 rad/s2 (option D)
