When an old LP turntable was revolving at 3313 rpm, it was shut off and uniformly slowed down and stopped in 5.5 seconds. What was the magnitude of its angular acceleration (in rad/s2) as it slowed down?

-0.63 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Initial angular velocity of the turntable, w(i) = 33 1/3 rpm

Final angular velocity of the turntable, w(f) = 0 rpm

Time taken to slow down, t = 5.5 s

The calculation is attached in the photo below

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
