A wheel, starting from rest, rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 3.20 rad/s². During a certain 6.00 s interval, it turns through 67.8 rad. (a) How long had the wheel been turning before the start of the 6.00 s interval? (b) What was the angular velocity of the wheel at the start of the 6.00 s interval?

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
