Question
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?
