A bicycle wheel of radius 0.28 m rolls down a hill without slipping. Its linear velocity increases constantly from 0 to 8 m/s in 2.6 s. What is its angular acceleration?

10.989 rad/s²

Explanation:

Angular Acceleration: This is the acceleration of a body that undergoes a circular motion. The S.I unit of angular acceleration is rad/s²

The expression for angular acceleration is given as

a = αr Equation 1

Where a = linear acceleration, α = angular acceleration, r = radius.

make α the subject of the equation

α = a/r Equation 2.

But,

a = (v-u)/t Equation 3

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

substitute equation 3 into equation 2

α = (v-u)/rt Equation 4

Given: v = 8 m/s, u = 0 m/s, r = 0.28 m, t = 2.6 s

Substitute into equation 4

α = (8-0)/(0.28×2.6)

α = 8/0.728

α = 10.989 rad/s²

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
