A 47-cm-diameter wheel accelerates uniformly about its center from 140 rpm to 350 rpm in 5.0 s .
A) Determine its angular acceleration. Express your answer using two significant figures.
B) Determine the radial component of the linear acceleration of a point on the edge of the wheel 1.9 s after it has started accelerating. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
C) Determine the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a point on the edge of the wheel 1.9 s after it has started accelerating. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Here we apply concept of circular motion and equation of motion for constant angular acceleration.
