Answer:
The angular acceleration is [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The angular speed is [tex]w_f = 45 \ rev / minutes = \frac{45 * 2 * \pi }{60 }= 4.713 \ rad/s[/tex]
The angular displacement is [tex]\theta =4 \ rev = 4 * 2 * \pi = 25.14 \ rad[/tex]
From the first equation of motion we can define the movement of the record as
[tex]w_f ^2 = w_o ^2 + 2 * \alpha * \theta[/tex]
Given that the record started from rest [tex]w_o = 0[/tex]
So
[tex]4.713^2 = 2 * \alpha * 25.14[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]
