Question

100%

Starting from rest, a person pedals a bicycle such that the angular acceleration of the wheels is a constant 1.30 rad per second squared the bicycle wheels are 32.5 cm in radius.

a) what is the magnitude of the bicycles linear acceleration in meters per second squared?

b) what is the angular speed of the wheels in radians per second in a linear speed of the bicyclist reaches 12.0 m/s?

c) how many radians have the wheels turned through in that time?

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 .
