Explanation

To find the total revolutions, first convert 1000 rpm to revolutions per second: 1000 ÷ 60 ≈ 16.67 rps. Since the flywheel starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, the average speed is half of the final speed: 16.67 ÷ 2 ≈ 8.33 rps. Total revolutions = average speed × time = 8.33 × 6 ≈ 50 revolutions.
