Surfing For Physics Formulas For Acceleration?

Richard asks…Angular Acceleration? Physics help.?The blades in a blender rotate at 6500 rpm. When the blender is unplugged the blades continue to rotate for 3 seconds until the stop. Find the angular acceleration of the blades as they slow down.

The angular acceleration formula is a=dw/dt=d^2theta/dt^2, correct? and I would have to change the rpm's to rad's, correct? Sorry, I'm just not really understanding. :-(Nancy answers:Wi = 6500 rpm = 681 rad/s
t = 3 s
wf = 0 rpm = 0 rad/s

wf = wi +
