Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(25 \mathrm{rad}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial angular velocity of wheel, \(\omega_{0}=0\)
Final angular velocity, \(\omega=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(t=5 \mathrm{~s}\)
By first equation of rotational motion,
\(\omega=\omega_{0}+\alpha t \)
\( \Rightarrow 10=0+\alpha \times 5 \)
\( \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{10}{5}=2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
If \(\theta\) be the total angle through which wheel has turned, then from,
\(\theta =\omega_{0} t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^{2} \)
\( =0 \times 5+\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 5^{2}=0+25 \)
\( \Rightarrow \theta =25 \mathrm{rad}\)
