Question
An engine flywheel initially rotates counterclockwise at 5.03 rotations/s. Then, during 23.5 s, its rotation rate changes to 2.63 rotations/s clockwise. Find the flywheel’s average angular acceleration (including its sign) in radians per second squared. Define counterclockwise rotation as positive.

Answer:
the flywheel’s average angular acceleration is -2.05 rad/s²
Explanation:
Note: counterclockwise is positive
clockwise is negative
Given;
initial angular velocity,
= 5.03 rev/s = 
final angular velocity,
= -2.63 rev/s = 
duration of the flywheel rotation, Δt = 23.5 s
The average acceleration of the flywheel is calculated as;
Therefore, the flywheel’s average angular acceleration is -2.05 rad/s²
