A fan blade rotates with angular velocity given by ωz(t)=γβt2, where γ=5.00 rads and β=0.800 rads3. (a) Calculate the angular acceleration as a function of time. (b) Calculate the instantaneous angular acceleration az at t=3.00 s at t = 3.00 s and the average angular acceleration aavz for the time interval t = 0 to t = 3.00 s. How do these two quantities compare? If they are different, why?

a) From equation and the given angular velocity ωz(t) we can find the instantenious angular acceleration az in some time t:
az(t)=dωz(t)dt=2β
az(t)=2βt(1.6rads3)
b)From the result of a) we have for the instantenious angular acceleration az at t=3 s:
az(t)=(1.6rads3)3 s
az(t)=4.8rads2
Frome equation we can find the average angular acceleration aavz
aavz=ωz(t1)ωz(t0)t1t0=γβt12(γβt02)t1t0=βt12t02t1t0=0.8rads3(3 s)23 s
aavz=2.4rads2
The average angular acceleration aavz and the instantaneous acceleration az are different, and the instanteneous angular acceleration is twice the size of the average angular acceleration.
They are different because the acceleration is not constant, az(t) is changing linear with time.
