Explanation

The flywheel starts from rest and reaches 1000 rpm in 6 seconds. Assuming uniform acceleration, the average speed is half of the final speed, which is 500 rpm. Converting 500 rpm to revolutions per second gives 500/60 ≈ 8.33 rps. Multiplying by 6 seconds, the total revolutions are approximately 8.33 × 6 = 50 revolutions.
