Answer

angular acceleration is increasing with time so it is not constant

Work Step by Step

Angular velocity of object is: $w=\dfrac {\partial \theta }{\partial t}=\dfrac {\partial }{\partial t}\left( 2+4t^{2}+2t^{3}\right) =8t+6t^{2}.....\left( 1\right) $ Angular acceleration of the object is: $\alpha =\dfrac {\partial w\left( t\right) }{\partial t}\left( 2\right) $ Using (1) and (2), we get $\alpha =\dfrac {\partial w\left( t\right) }{\partial t}=\dfrac {\partial \left( 8t+6t^{2}\right) }{\partial t}=8+12t......................(3)$ As we can see from the equation (3), the angular acceleration is increasing with time so it is not constant.
