Answer:

increasing

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular speed =1 rad/s

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We know that the angular acceleration is given by :


\alpha =(\omega_f-\omega_i)/(t)

Where


\omega_fcity and t is time is the final angualr velo

As the angular acceleration of the object is positive. It means that the final speed of the object is more than that initial. As a result, the speed of its rotation is increasing.
