In the Cartesian coordinates, a figure shows the angular-velocity versus time graph for a particle moving in a circle.
y axis is the angular (rotational) speed (w) as “rad/second” and x axis is time (t) as “second”. The motion is linear in the first two seconds as:
10 rad/s at t=1
20 rad/s at t=2
Then the angular (rotational) speed is constant (w=20 rad/s) for both t=3 and t=4. here’s the graph:

How many revolutions does the object make during the first 4 s?
One radian equals half a turn
If t=1s is 10 rads/s then there are 5 turns
If t=2s it is 20 rads/s then there are 10 turns
It is 20 rads/s at t=3s. There are 10 turns
It is 20 rads/s at t=4s. There are 10 turns
There are 35 revolutions in total, which is a total of 4s.
