Answer:

Revolutions = θ = 11.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angular acceleration = α = 4 rad/s^2

As the wheel starts from rest so, ω₀ = 0

Time = t = 6 seconds

So we have to calculate revolutions per second, we know that:

θ = ω₀ t + 1/2 ( α * t ^2)

By putting values:

θ = 0 * 6 + 1/2(4 * (6^2))

θ = 0 + 2* 36

θ = 72

As the rotation angle is 2π, the revolutions will be calculated as:

s = θ / 2π.

By putting values:

s = 72/2(3.14)

s = 72/6.28

s = 11.47

So, there will be 11.47 revolutions in 6 seconds.

i hope it will help you!
