Angular velocity

[SOLVED] Angular velocity

Homework Statement

The angular acceleration of a flywheel of a generator is given by

a(t) = 6bt - 12ct²

What is the angular velocity at t when the initial velocity is w₀?

The Attempt at a Solution

w = w₀ + at = w₀ + 6bt² - 12ct³


This is wrong according to my book. Can't I use the same equations for angular motion as for linear motion?

The equation you have written is for solving angular velocity when the angular acceleration is constant.
