Expert-verifiedThe angular acceleration of a wheel is , with is in radians per second-squared and in seconds. At time , the wheel has an angular velocity of and an angular position of .
Write expressions for (a) the angular velocity (rad/s) and (b) the angular position (rad) as functions of time (s).
The angular acceleration of a wheel is,
The angular velocity of a wheel at t = 0 is,
The angular position of a wheel at t = 0 is,
Find the angular velocity by taking time integral of angular acceleration and angular position by taking the time integral of angular velocity.
Angular velocity is a time integral of angular acceleration. Hence,
Angular velocity of the wheel is .
Angular position is a time integral of angular velocity. Hence:
Therefore, angular position of the wheel is
Angular speed and angular position of an object is calculated from its angular acceleration.
