A wheel is rotating about a fixed axis with constant angular acceleration 3 rad/s 2 . At different moments, its angular speed is –2 rad/s, 0. and +2 rad/s. For a point on the rim of the wheel, consider at these moments the magnitude of the tangential component of acceleration and the magnitude of the radial component of acceleration. Rank the following five items from largest to smallest: (a) | a t | when ω = – 2 rad/s, (b)| a r | when ω = –2 rad/s, (c)| a r | when ω = 0, (d) | a t | when ω = 2 rad/s, and (e) | a r | when ω = 2 rad/s. If two items are equal, show them as equal in your ranking. If a quantity is equal to zero, show that fact in your ranking.

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
An object rotates about a fixed axis, and the angular position of a reference line on the object is given by u = 0.40e2t, where u is in radians and t is in seconds. Consider a point on the object that is 4.0 cm from the axis of rotation. At t = 0, what are the magnitudes of the point’s (a) tangential component of acceleration and (b) radial component of acceleration?
A person is riding a bike around a corner (radius = 3 m) with a angular acceleration of 42 degrees/sec^2 and a final angular velocity of 172 degree/s. What is the magnitude of the radial acceleration at the end of the curve (final position)?
(hint: find the radians)
A wheel 2 m in diameter lies in a vertical plane and rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 4 rad/s2. The wheel starts at rest at t =0, and the radius vector of point P on the rim makes an angle of 57.3o with the horizontal at this time. At t=2s, find the angular speed of the wheel
