Graph of angular speed squared versus angular displacement.
Graph of angular speed squared versus angular displacement.
A uniform rigid flywheel rotates about a fixed frictionless axle that passes through its center perpendicular to the flywheel. A sensor records the rotational motion of the flywheel as an external torque is applied, producing the graph of the square of angular speed, \(\omega^2\), as a function of angular displacement, \(\theta\), shown. Which of the following claims correctly describes the angular acceleration of the flywheel?
