A wheel rotates with a constant angular speed v. Which one of the following is true concerning the angular acceleration a of the wheel, the tangential acceleration aT of a point on the rim of the wheel, and the centripetal acceleration ac of a point on the rim?
(a) α = 0 rad/s2, αT = 0 m/s2, and αc = 0 m/s2
(b) α = 0 rad/s2, αT ≠ 0 m/s2, and αc = 0 m/s2
(c) α ≠ 0 rad/s2, αT = 0 m/s2, and αc = 0 m/s2
(d) α = 0 rad/s2, αT = 0 m/s2, and αc ≠ 0 m/s2
(e) α ≠ 0 rad/s2, αT ≠ 0 m/s2, and αc ≠ 0 m/s2
