A police van moving on a highway with a ...

A police van moving on a highway with a speed of `30 km h^(-1)` fires a bullet at a thief's car speeding away in the same direction with a speed of `192 km h^(-1)`. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is `150 m s^(-1)`, with what speed does the bullet hit the thief's car?

Like average linear acceleration, the average angular acceleration `alpha_(av)` equals to ratio of change in angular velocity `Deltaomega` to the concerned time interval `Deltat`.
`alpha_(av)=(Deltaomega)/(Deltat)=(omega_("final")-omega_("initial"))/(t_("final")-t_("initial"))` ...(i)
The angular velocity `omega` being rate of charge in angular position can be obtained by equation
`omega=(d theta)/(dt)`
Substituting the given expression of the angular position `theta`, we have
`omega=3t^(2)-6t+4` ...(ii)
From the above eq. (ii), angular velocities `omeha_(2)` and `omega_(4)` at the given instants `t=2s` and `4s` are
`omega_(4)=4 rad//s` and `omega_(4)=28 rad//s`
Substituting the above values in eq. (1), we have `alpha_(av)=12 rad//s^(2)`
