Question

An optical disk drive in your computer can spin a disk up to 10,000 rpm (about 1045 rad/s ). If a particular disk is spun at 998.0 rad/s while it is being read, and then is allowed to come to rest over 0.502 seconds , what is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the disk?

Answer 1

1988.05 rad/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The angular speed of the optical disk ω = 998.0 rad/s

the time taken to come to rest t = 0.502 s

The magnitude of the average angular acceleration ∝ = ω/t

∝ = 998.0/0.502 = 1988.05 rad/s^2
