1. (Problem 7)
A machine part rotates at an angular speed of 0.06 rad/s; its speed is then increased to 2.2 rad/s at and
angular acceleration of 0.70 rad/s2.
(a) Label physical quantities in this problem using letters you choose.
(b) Find the angle through which the part rotates before reaching this final speed.(First, write
down an equation you will use and substitute numerical values in the equation)
(c) In general, if both the initial and final angular speeds are doubled at the same angular
acceleration, by what factor is the angular displacement changed? Why? (Hint: Look at the
form of equation 7.9)

57.3° with the positive x-axis at this time. At t= 2.30 s, find (a) the angular speed of the wheel, (b) the
linear velocity and tangential acceleration of P, and (c) the position of P(in degree, with respect to the
positive x-axis)
