A flywheel with an initial clockwise rotation and an opposing counterclockwise net torque.
A flywheel with an initial clockwise rotation and an opposing counterclockwise net torque.
A heavy flywheel in a machine is spinning clockwise at an initial angular velocity \(\omega_i\). A constant counterclockwise net torque is applied to the flywheel, causing it to slow down, momentarily stop, and then begin rotating counterclockwise. At the instant the flywheel is momentarily at rest, which of the following correctly describes the flywheel's angular velocity \(\omega\) and angular acceleration \(\alpha\)?
