A centrifuge in a medical laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,550 rev/min, clockwise (when viewed from above). When switched off, it rotates through 54.0 revolutions before coming to rest. Assuming it is constant, what is the magnitude of angular acceleration (in rad/s)? rad/s? What is the direction of the angular acceleration (again, when viewed from above)? O lockwise O counterclockwise O The magnitude is zero.
