an ice skater rotating around a vertical axis decreases in angular velocity from 500°/s to 60°/s in 7.6 seconds. find the angular acceleration in rad/s^2.



Answer :

The angular acceleration of an ice skater is -57.89 ⁰/s².

We need to know about angular acceleration to solve this problem. The angular acceleration can be defined as how many angular velocity change in second. It can be written as

a = Δώ / t

where a is angular acceleration, Δώ is change in angular velocity and t is interval time.

From the question above, the parameters given are

ώo = 500 ⁰/s

ώt = 60 ⁰/s

t = 7.6 s

By substituting the given parameters, we can calculate the angular acceleration

a = Δώ / t

a = (ώt - ώo) / t

a = (60 - 500) / 7.6

a = -440 / 7.6

a = -57.89 ⁰/s²
