Question

A wheel (radius = 0.20 m) starts from rest and rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2


A wheel (radius = 0.20 m) starts from rest and rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2. At the instant when the angular velocity is equal to 1.2 rad/s, what is the magnitude of the total linear acceleration (in m/s2) of a point on the rim of the wheel? 

  • 0.29 

  • 0.4 

  • 0.49 

  • 0.69

Answer #1

Let initial angular velocity be  

Since it starts from rest,

Angular acceleration,   

angular velocity is

Tangential velocity when ang velocity is 1.2rad/sec,

centrifugal acceleration is

tangential linear acceleration is

Total linear acceleration is
