    A wheel has angular acceleration of \[3.0\text{ }rad/{{s}^{2}}\] and an initial angular speed of\[2.00\text{ }rad/s\]. In a time of 2 s it has rotated through an angle (in radian) of:          [AIPMT (S) 2007]

    A) 6

    B) 10        

    C) 12 

    D) 4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Angular acceleration is time derivative of angular speed and angular speed is time derivative of angular displacement.
                By definition      \[\alpha =\frac{d\omega }{dt}\]
                i.e.,       \[d\omega =\alpha \,dt\]
                So, if in time t the angular speed of a body changes from \[{{\omega }_{0}}\] to \[\omega \]
                            \[\int_{{{\omega }_{0}}}^{\omega }{d\omega =\int_{0}^{t}{\alpha \,dt}}\]
                If \[\alpha \] is constant
                            \[\omega -{{\omega }_{0}}=\alpha \,t\]
                or         \[\omega ={{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha \,t\]                         …(i)
                Now, as by definition
                            \[\omega =\frac{d\theta }{dt}\]
                Eq. (i) becomes
                            \[\frac{d\theta }{dt}={{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha \,t\]
                i.e.,       \[d\theta =({{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha \,t)\,dt\]
                So, if in time t angular displacement is \[\theta \].
                            \[\int_{0}^{\theta }{d\theta =\int_{0}^{t}{({{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha t)dt}}\]
                or         \[\theta ={{\omega }_{0}}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha \,{{t}^{2}}\]                              .....(ii)
                Given,  \[\alpha =3.0\,rd/{{s}^{2}},\,{{\omega }_{0}}=2.0\,\,rad/s,\,\,t=2\,s\]
                Hence,  \[\theta =2\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times {{(2)}^{2}}\]
                or         \[\theta =4+6=10\,rad\]
                Note:    Eqs. (i) and (ii) are similar to first and second equations of linear motion.
