A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s^2. The diameter of the wheel is 40 cm. What is the linear speed of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant when that point has a total linear acceleration with a magnitude of 1.2 m/s^2?
Solution
tangential acceleration = angular ACC * radius
= 4*0.2= 0.8 m/s^2
Radial acceleration =v^2/r =v^2/=0.2
Magnitude of acceleration =1.2={(0.8)^2 +(v^2/0.2)^2}^1/2
V= 0.423 m/s
