1. Angular acceleration as a function of time and/or theta.
a. Initially a wheel is spinning counterclockwise at 36 rad/s. Friction is slowing the spin with a constant (clockwise) angular acceleration of 3 rad/𝑠". How many revolutions will the wheel make before it stops?
b. A wheel is initially spinning clockwise at 20 rad/s. The counterclockwise angular acceleration is given as a function of time on the graph below. What will be the angular speed and direction of the wheel after 10 seconds?

3. Rolling without Slipping
a. A ball with a radius of 0.15m is rolling down an incline without slipping. The center of the ball is accelerating down the slope at 3 m/𝑠". What is the direction and magnitude of the angular acceleration, 𝛼, of the ball?
b. A yoyo with an outer radius of 3 cm is moving downward on a string. The string unwinds from the yoyo from a spool with a radius of 0.5 cm. The top end of the string is held stationary. The center of the yoyo is accelerating downward at 60 cm/𝑠". What is the magnitude and direction of the angular acceleration, 𝛼, of the yoyo?
