Suppose you have two rotating disks. Disk 1 has a constant angular velocity of 10rad/s, and Disk 2 starts at rest but has an angular acceleration of 2.0rad/s^2. How many radians will be traveled by each disk by the time they cover the same angular displacement? Would your answer change if one of the disks doubles its radius but changes nothing else?
