Answer:
-10.9 rad/s²
Explanation:
ω² = ω₀² + 2α(θ - θ₀)
Given:
ω = 13.5 rad/s
ω₀ = 22.0 rad/s
θ - θ₀ = 13.8 rad
(13.5)² = (22.0)² + 2α (13.8)
α = -10.9 rad/s²
Use the formula
[tex]{\omega_f}^2-{\omega_i}^2=2\alpha\Delta\theta[/tex]
[tex]\implies\left(13.5\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(22.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)^2=2\alpha(13.8\,\mathrm{rad})[/tex]
[tex]\implies\alpha=-10.9\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]
so the magnitude is 10.9 rad/s^2.
