Consider the case of a rotating wheel at rest and starting a clockwise rotation, meaning the negative direction of the angular velocity, and increasing (negatively) its value up to -12 rad/sec for 2 seconds. It then maintains a constant velocity for 2 seconds, and then uniformly reduces the magnitude of the velocity for 2 seconds until the wheel is momentarily stopped and restarts its rotation counter clockwise with positive angular velocity, accelerating up to 20 rad/sec in 2 seconds and remaining at a constant rotation for 2 more seconds. Finally, the wheel stops gradually in 2 seconds. Next you can see the graph of angular velocity versus time of this rotation:    Get the slope of the straight line in the range from 4 to 6 seconds and use analytical geometry to build the equation of that line, in the slope-intercept equation form.

Question

Consider the case of a rotating wheel at rest and starting a clockwise rotation, meaning the negative direction of the angular velocity, and increasing (negatively) its value up to -12 rad/sec for 2 seconds. It then maintains a constant velocity for 2 seconds, and then uniformly reduces the magnitude of the velocity for 2 seconds until the wheel is momentarily stopped and restarts its rotation counter clockwise with positive angular velocity, accelerating up to 20 rad/sec in 2 seconds and remaining at a constant rotation for 2 more seconds. Finally, the wheel stops gradually in 2 seconds. Next you can see the graph of angular velocity versus time of this rotation: 

 

  1. Get the slope of the straight line in the range from 4 to 6 seconds and use analytical geometry to build the equation of that line, in the slope-intercept equation form.
