Problem

A horizontal circular platform of radius 2.0 m2.0\,\text{m} starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration. The tangential acceleration of a point on its edge is measured to be 1.5 m s−21.5\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}. a. (i) Find the angular acceleration of the platform. b. (ii) How long will it take for the linear speed at the edge to reach 12 m s−112\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}? c. (iii) Calculate the angular displacement of the platform, in radians, during this time.
