Thank you! However, I did not get the right answer when I converted my answers to degrees and then found the respective spot on the wheel. To do this, I found subtracted 360 from my answer until I got a number below 360. Then I when by 30's from left to right (counter-clockwise) on the...

1. At a county fair there is a betting game that involves a spinning wheel. As the drawing shows, the wheel is set into rotational motion with the beginning of the angular section labeled "1" at the marker at the top of the wheel. The wheel then decelerates and eventually comes to a halt on one...

I got the correct answer for both parts now! Thank you so much for you help! :)

Would I use average angular acceleration? w - w0 / t - t0 Which gives me 2.35 rad/s.

1.48 rad/s

Wow, that is silly. I put my work for another problem I was having trouble with. For this problem I used, total a=\sqrt{(rw^{2})^{2} + (r\alpha)^{2}} I worked out the problem and got 0.99m/s^{2}, which was incorrect.

1. The blades of a ceiling fan have a radius of 0.318 m and are rotating about a fixed axis with an angular velocity of +1.48 rad/s. When the switch on the fan is turned to a higher speed, the blades acquire an angular acceleration of +2.22 rad/s2. After 0.394 s have elapsed since the switch was...
