A wheel changes its angular velocity with a constant angular acceleration while rotating about a fixed axis through its center
(a) Show that the change in the magnitude of the radial acceleration during any time interval of a point on the wheel is twice the product of the angular acce1era1ion, the angular displacement, and the perpendicular distance of the point from the axis.
(b) The radial acceleration of a point on the wheel that is 0.250 m from the axis changes from 25.0 m/s2 to 85.0 m/s2 as the wheel rotates through 15.0 rad. Calculate the tangential acce1era1ion of this point.
(c) Show that the change in the wheel's kinetic energy during any time interval is the product of the moment of inertia about the axis, the angular acce1era1ion, and the angular displacement.
(d) During the 15.0-rad angular displacement of part (b), the kinetic energy of the wheel increases from 20.0 J to 45.0 J. What is the moment of inertia of the wheel about the rotation axis?
