A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 12 rad/s over the next 4.0 seconds. Assume that the angular acceleration is constant. What is the average angular speed of the grindstone?

The average angular speed is the average of the initial and final angular speeds.

Average angular speed = (Initial angular speed + Final angular speed) / 2

= (8.0 rad/s + 12 rad/s) / 2

= 20.0 rad/s / 2

= 10.0 rad/s.

So, the average angular speed of the grindstone is 10.0 rad/s.
