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

    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      \[\alpha =\frac{d\omega }{dt}\] \[ie,\]                    \[d\omega =\alpha \,\,dt\] 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                 \[\frac{d\theta }{dt}={{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha \,t\] \[ie,\]    \[d\theta =({{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha \,t)dt\] 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\[\alpha =3.0\,\,rad/{{s}^{2}},\,\,{{\omega }_{0}}=2.0\,\,rad,\,\,s,\,\,t=2\,\,s\]. 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.
