Homework Statement

A wheel rotating with a constant angular acceleration turns through 11 revolutions during a 6 s time interval. Its angular velocity at the end of this interval is 17 rad/s. What is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Note that the initial angular velocity is not zero. Answer in units of rad/s2.

Just like linear kinematics but for rotations.

Linear: position = x, speed = v
Angular: position = \theta, speed = \omega

So for linear, you know x=x₀+vt. Write out the similar equation for rotation and it will give you your angle in radians.

...

Same concept as before: substitute angular variables for linear ones in linear kinematics equations.

Known: \Delta\theta, t, \omega_f
Want: \alpha
Need: \omega_0 to get \alpha

Work it out in two steps, first one gets you \omega_0 in terms of \alpha, plug that into another equation that relates \Delta\theta to the everything you know so far and then solve for \alpha.

What is the angular motion equation that relates angular displacement with angular acceleration and time?

Through what angle does it rotate in 1.1 s? Answer in units of rad.

So it would be: \omega = \omega _o + \alpha t

What is the angular acceleration of the wheel? Note that the initial angular velocity is not zero. Answer in units of rad/s2.

\omega = \omega _o + \alpha t

than:

\alpha = \Delta \omega / \Delta t

There are several motion equations to choose from, and which one you use depends upon the problem. In part 1, you have a constant angular speed, and the time is given. You don't have any acceleration, it's a record spinning at a uniform angular speed. In part 2, follow 232thorium's hint.
