Problem
A wheel is rotating clockwise and slowing down in magnitude. Counterclockwise is defined as the positive direction. Which pair of signs for the wheel’s instantaneous angular velocity ω and angular acceleration α is most consistent with this motion?
(a) ω>0,α<0
(b) ω<0,α>0
(c) ω<0,α<0
(d) ω>0,α>0
