Answer

a) $\theta=4600rad$ b) $\alpha=200rad/s^2$

Work Step by Step

The initial speed is $\omega_0=420rad/s$, the final speed is $\omega=1420rad/s$, and the time is $t=5s$ a) The angle through which the rotor turns is $$\theta=\Big(\frac{\omega+\omega_0}{2}\Big)t=4600rad$$ b) The magnitude of the angular acceleration is $$\alpha=\frac{\omega-\omega_0}{t}=200rad/s^2$$
