  A) is the same as before.
  B) is half as much as before.
  C) is one third as much as before.

Question 2

The angular velocity of a 755-g wheel 15.0 cm in diameter is given by the equation
 
  (t) = (2.00 rad/s2 )t + (1.00 rad/s4 )t3.
  (a) Through how many radians does the wheel turn during the first 2.00 s of its motion?
  (b) What is the angular acceleration (in rad/s2 ) of the wheel at the end of the first 2.00 s of its motion?
