Answer

The flywheel turns through an angle of $~~20.4~rad$

Work Step by Step

We can find the initial angular velocity: $L_i = I\omega_i$ $\omega_i = \frac{L_i}{I}$ $\omega_i = \frac{3.00~kg~m^2/s}{0.140~kg~m^2}$ $\omega_i = 21.429~rad/s$ We can find the final angular velocity: $L_f = I\omega_f$ $\omega_f = \frac{L_f}{I}$ $\omega_f = \frac{0.800~kg~m^2/s}{0.140~kg~m^2}$ $\omega_f = 5.714~rad/s$ We can find the average angular velocity: $\omega_{ave} = \frac{\omega_i+\omega_f}{2}$ $\omega_{ave} = \frac{21.429~rad/s+5.714~rad/s}{2}$ $\omega_{ave} = 13.57~rad/s$ We can find the angle through which the flywheel turns: $\theta = \omega_{ave}~t$ $\theta = (13.57~rad/s)(1.50~s)$ $\theta = 20.4~rad$ The flywheel turns through an angle of $~~20.4~rad$
