  • Angular Acceleration and Revolutions

    The crankshaft in a race car goes from rest to 3500 rpm in 3.5 seconds. What is the crankshaft’s angular acceleration? Known Variables: time: 3.5 seconds angular frequency(ω): 3500 rpm We know that the angular acceleration formula is as follows: α= ω/t First we need to convert ω into proper units which is in radians/second. 3500 rpm…
