Starting from rest, a bicyclist pedals a bicycle such that the angular acceleration of the wheels is a constant 1.10 rad/s. The bicycle wheels are 36.5 cm in radius. (a) What is the magnitude of the bicycle's linear acceleration (in m/s)? 40.15 x Be sure to convert the radius from units of cm to meters. m/s (b) What is the angular speed of the wheels (in rad/s) when the linear speed of the bicyclist reaches 10.6 m/s? 26.4 x How is the tangential velocity of the wheel's edge related to the angular velocity? Be careful with unit conversion. rad/s c) How many radians have the wheels turned through in that time? 14.52 x What constant acceleration formula relates final angular velocity to initial angular velocity, angular acceleration, and angular displacement? Can you use this to solve for the angular displacement? rad How far (in m) has the bicycle traveled in that time? 13991.5 x Be sure to convert the radius from units of cm to meters. m Starting from rest, a bicyclist pedals a bicycle such that the angular acceleration of the wheels is a constant 1.10 rad/s.
