O The tangential acceleration is zero m/s². The tangential acceleration does not depend on the angular velocity. O The tangential acceleration depends on the change in the centripetal acceleration. O The tangential acceleration is constant, but not equal to zero m/s², in both magnitude and direction. O The tangential acceleration is equal to the centripetal acceleration.

Consider a point on a bicycle wheel as the wheel turns about a fixed axis, neither speeding up nor slowing down. Compare the tangential and centripetal accelerations of the point. O Neither is zero. Only the centripetal acceleration is zero. O Both are zero. O Only the tangential acceleration is zero.
In the figure, a solid 0.2 kg ball rolls smoothly from rest (starting at height H = 6.3 m) until it leaves the horizontal section at the end of the track, at height h = 1.6 m. How far horizontally from point A does the ball hit the floor?

Problem 14: A rotating platform of radius R = 1.5 cm is initially at rest. It then begins to move, such that a point on its edge experiences a tangential acceleration of at = 5.5 cm/s2. Part (a) Write an expression that gives the radial acceleration on the edge of the platform as a function of time. Part (b) Write an expression for the time at which the magnitudes of the radial and tangential accelerations at the edge will be equal.

A “blink of an eye” is a time interval of about 150 ms for an average adult. The “closure” portion of the blink takes only about 55 ms. Let us model the closure of the upper eyelid as uniform angular acceleration through an angular displacement of 14.0°. What is the tangential acceleration of the edge of the eyelid while closing if the radius of the eyeball is 1.25 cm?
