The radius of the Corvette’s tires is 14 in. It is traveling at 80 mi/h when the driver applies the brakes, subjecting the car to a deceleration of 25 ft/s2. Assume that the tires continue to roll, not skid, on the road surface. At that instant, what are the magnitudes of the tangential and normal components of acceleration (in ft/s2) of a point at the outer edge of a tire relative to a nonrotating coordinate system with its origin at the center of the tire?
