Question
**Problem Statement:**

A turntable starts from 10 rad/s of angular velocity and slows down to a stop in 5.0 s. Find the total angle turned during this time, in rad.

**Hint:** Use rotational kinematics formula. Assume initial angle and final angular velocity as zero.

---

**Solution:**

1. **Given Data:**
   - Initial angular velocity (\(\omega_0\)): 10 rad/s
   - Final angular velocity (\(\omega\)): 0 rad/s (since it comes to a stop)
   - Time interval (t): 5.0 s
   - Initial angle (\(\theta_0\)): 0 rad

2. **Find:** Total angle turned (\(\Delta \theta\))

3. **Rotational Kinematics Formula:**
   The formula for angular displacement with constant angular acceleration is:
   \[
   \theta = \theta_0 + \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2
   \]

   Where:
   - \(\theta\) is the final angular position
   - \(\theta_0\) is the initial angular position
   - \(\omega_0\) is the initial angular velocity
   - \(t\) is the time
   - \(\alpha\) is the angular acceleration

4. **Calculate Angular Acceleration (\(\alpha\)):**
   Using the formula:
   \[
   \omega = \omega_0 + \alpha t
   \]

   Since the final angular velocity (\(\omega\)) is 0:
   \[
   0 = 10 + \alpha (5)
   \]
   \[
   \alpha = -2 \ \text{rad/s}^2
   \]

5. **Calculate Total Angle Turned (\(\Delta \theta\)):**
   Using the kinematic formula:
   \[
   \theta = 0 + (10 \ \text{rad/s}) (5 \ \text{s}) + \frac{1}{2} (-2 \ \text{rad/s}^2) (5 \ \text{s})^2
   \]
   \[
   \theta = 10 (5) + \frac{1}{2} (-2) (25)
   \]
   \[
   \theta = 50 - 25
   \]
