A solid sphere of radius R rolls without slipping in a trough of radius 5R as shown to the right. Answer the following questions: 5R, a. At what point(s) in the sphere's motion does it have zero R centripetal acceleration? What is the direction of the acceleration vector at this point? b. At what point(s) in the sphere's motion does it have zero tangential acceleration? What is the direction of the acceleration at this point? c. Explain why the period of the oscillation for the solid sphere is independent of the mass of the solid sphere.

Imagine that you could see a wheel spinning while speeding up, so you know that the angular velocity is (answer choice 1) , and the angular acceleration is (answer choice 2). But if instead the wheel is spinning counter clockwise and slowing down, so you know that the angular velocity is (answer choice 3) , and the angular acceleration is (answer choice 4). answer choices: out of page (positive) or into page (negative)
How do I find the tangential speed of a ball going in uniform circular motion, in the problem I'm working on, a 1.3 m long string makes a 48.8 degree angle below the hoizontal. I am confused as to how I find the w to plug into the Vt=rw equation to get the tangential speed. Thanks for your help!
