Answer

$4\ rad/s$

Work Step by Step

From the kinematic equations, time taken by the toast to fall is: $t =\sqrt \frac{2s}{g}$ $t =\sqrt \frac{2\times 0.76\ m}{9.8\ m/s^2}$ $t=0.394\ s$ For minimum angular speed, the toast rotates at $\frac{1}{4}$ of a revolution. The formula for angular speed is $\omega = \frac{\Delta\theta(\ rev)}{\Delta T(sec)}$ Therefore; $\omega_{min} =\frac{0.25\ rev}{0.394\ s}$ Since $1\ rev = 2\pi rad$; $\omega_{min} =\frac{0.25 \times 2\pi\ rad}{0.394\ s} =3.986= 4\ rad/s$
