The turntable accelerates uniformly from rest, and takes t1 = 11.6 seconds to get up to its full speed of f1 = 78 revolutions per minute. Case 2: The DJ then changes the speed of the turntable from f1 = 78 to f2 = 120 revolutions per minute. She notices that the turntable rotates exactly n2= 12 times while accelerating uniformly. t1 = 11.6 secondsn2 = 12 times a.
