Question

Since you are stuck at home in quarantine with your roommates and/or family, you have all decided to play Wheel of Fortune at home. You are using a mechanical wheel with a diameter of 48.0 cm. To start your turn, the wheel starts from rest and begins rotating with a constant angular acceleration of 2.00 rad/s2 . What is the radial acceleration of a point on the rim of the wheel for the instant that the wheel completes its second revolution? You must use one of the two following relationships: (i) arad = ω2r or (ii) arad = v2 /r.
