Did you know that angular acceleration, which measures how quickly the angular velocity of an object changes, can be determined by dividing the change in angular velocity by the change in time? In the given scenario, the pottery wheel starts from rest and reaches an angular velocity of 250 revolutions per minute in just 0.6 seconds. By calculating the angular acceleration, we can gain insight into the rate at which the pottery wheel gains speed. Additionally, the angular distance traveled by the pottery wheel during this 0.6 seconds can be found by multiplying the angular velocity by the time. This simple calculation allows us to quantify the extent of rotation that the pottery wheel undergoes in a given period.
