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

  • A
    6
  • Correct answer
    B
    10
  • C
    12
  • D
    4

Solution

$\theta=\omega_0 t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2$ Given, $\alpha=3.0 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2, \omega_0=2.0 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}, t=2 \mathrm{~s}$. Hence, $\quad \theta=2 \times 2+\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times(2)^2$ or $\theta=4+6=10 \mathrm{rad}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
