Harry Potter decides to take Pottery 101 as an elective to satisfy his arts requirement at Hog warts. He sets some clay (m = 3.25 kg) on the edge of a pottery wheel (r = 0.600 m), which is initially motionless.

What is the centripetal acceleration of the clay initially and when the initial 3.00 s has passed? c. What is the magnitude of the constant tangential acceleration responsible for starting the clay in circular motion?
