Explanation:
The distance of searchlight will act as radius R and velocity of car may be supposed to be tangential velocity v . We are required to calculate angular velocity ω .
v = 80 ft /s
R = 3000 ft
ω = v / R
= 80 / 3000 = .027 rad / s
For angular acceleration the formula is
angular acceleration α = a / R
a is linear acceleration = 15 ft / s²
α = 15 / 3000 = .005 rad / s².
