k. just used displacement & time: x = x_0 + v_0 t + (1/2) a t^2 then divided by 2*pi now how about when they give the radius and time? which equations do i need there? ex: While riding on a Ferris wheel at a constant speed, you measure on your stopwatch that it takes the wheel 41.87...

A wheel starts from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 2.50 rad/s2 and rolls for 7.72 seconds. How many revolutions does it go through? answer is 11.86.. how the hell do you get there?

you're killin me here doc.. I've tried everything.. i know this is easy. tell me this: do i need to find the radius? if so, how do i do that using rad/s? is it vT/(2*pi)? c'mon doc.. work with me here.

i'm simply asking the proper method for finding revolutions when given accel and time. I've struggled for hours and I'm pretty fed up.. if you want to do the whole "answer my question with a question" thing, then go for it dude.. I'm just looking for a little help. and yeah you just plug the...

or at least put it into english for me, to get the amount of rotations, when you have acceleration and time.. you need to do what?

i've spent hours crunching numbers into equations.. find total radians then divide by 2*pi? I'm burnt out.. how about you just tell me what i do

i've been struggling for hours upon hours attempting to find the answer to simple problems and I'm extremely depressed.. how do i find the amount of revolutions if I'm given the constant angular acceleration (rad/s^2) and the time (seconds)?
