Question

As you finish listening to your favorite compact disc (CD), the CD in the player slows down to a stop. Assume that the CD spins down with a constant angular acceleration. Part A If the CD rotates clockwise (let's take clockwise rotation as positive) at 500rpm (revolutions per minute) while the last song is playing, and then spins down to zero angular speed in 2.60s with constant angular acceleration, what is vector alpha, the angular acceleration of the CD, as it spins to a stop? Express your answer in radians per second squared. (aka rad/s^2)

Explanation / Answer

a = ??/?t in this case of constant angular acceleration, where a is angular acceleration ? is angular speed t is time. All the angular quantities are in radians, where 1 full rotation is 2p radians.
