Answer

The angular velocity at the end of the third minute is $0.4~\omega$

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for the angular acceleration: $\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-0.20~\omega}{1~min}$ We can find the angular velocity after 3.0 minutes: $\omega_f = \omega_0+\alpha~t$ $\omega_f = \omega+(\frac{-0.20~\omega}{1~min})(3.0~min)$ $\omega_f = \omega+(-0.60~\omega)$ $\omega_f = 0.4~\omega$ The angular velocity at the end of the third minute is $0.4~\omega$
