A fly sits on a potter's wheel 0.30 m from its axle. The wheel's rotational speed decreases from 4.0 rad/s to 2.0 rad/s in 5.0 s. Determine the wheel's average rotational acceleration. Express your answer in radians per second squared. Enter positive value if the rotational speed increases and negative value if the rotational speed decreases.

Answer:

The average rotational acceleration is -0.4 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given:

w₁ = initial rotational speed = 4 rad/s

w₂ = final rotational speed = 2 rad/s

t = time = 5 s

The average rotational acceleration is:

[tex]w_{average} =\frac{w_{2}-w_{1} }{t} =\frac{2-4}{5} =-0.4rad/s^{2}[/tex]
