Constant Angular Acceleration: A machinist turns on the power to a grinding wheel at time t = 0 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly from rest for 10 s and reaches the operating angular speed of 38 rad/s. The wheel is run at that angular speed for 30 s and then power is shut off. The wheel slows down uniformly at 2.1 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. In this situation, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel between t = 0 s and t = 10 s?

A. 3.8 rad/s2
B. 4.6 rad/s2
C. 5.3 rad/s2
D. 6.1 rad/s2
E. 6.8 rad/s2

In her physics laboratory, Mathilda shines electromagnetic radiation on a material and collects photoelectric data to determine Planck's constant

She measures a stopping potential of 5.82 V for radiation of wavelength 100 nm, and 17.99 V for radiation of wavelength 50.0 nm. (1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J, c = 3.00 × 108 m/s) (a) Using Mathilda's data, what value does she determine for Planck's constant? (b) What is the work function of the material Mathilda is using, in electron-volts?
