Calculus problem with average angular velocity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the average angular velocity of a wheel rotating with a time-dependent angular velocity of 0.72t radians/sec. The average angular velocity is determined by the change in angular position divided by the change in time. For the angular positions of 4 radians and 9 radians, the average angular velocity is confirmed to be 3 radians/sec, as the calculations show a consistent result based on the given angular velocity function.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of angular velocity and its calculation
  • Familiarity with calculus concepts, particularly integration
  • Knowledge of radians and their application in angular measurements
  • Basic algebra skills for solving equations
NEXT STEPS

A wheel has angular position theta = 0 (radians) at t = 0 (seconds). It then rotates with an angular velocity equal to .72t radians/sec. In radians per second, what is the average angular velocity from theta = 4 radians to theta = 9 radians?

I got 3 for my answer but I'm not sure if it's right
