A wheel 2.00 m in diameter lies in a vertical plane androtates about its central axis with a constant angularacceleration of 4.00 rad/s2. The wheel starts at rest att =0, and the radius vector of a certain point P on therim makes an angle of 57.38 with the horizontal at thistime. At t 5 2.00 s, find (a) the angular speed of thewheel and, for point P, (b) thetangential speed, (c) thetotal acceleration, and (d) the angular position.

a) 20.8 rad/s, b) 20.8 m/s, c) 432.67 m/s²,

d)54.08 rad.

Explanation: diameter of wheel is 2m hence radius is 2/2 = 1m.

Constant angular acceleration = α = 4.00 rad/s²

Since the motion of the wheel is of a constant angular acceleration, hence newton's laws of motion is applicable.

Note that the body is starting from rest hence, initial angular velocity (ω0) is zero.

Time taken = 5.2s

a)

Recall that

ω = ω0 + αt

ω = 0 + 4(5.2)

ω = 20.8 rad/s.

b)

Tangential speed (v) is the linear speed and is given as

v = ωr

Where r is the radius of the wheel.

Note that ω = 20.8 rad/s

v = 20.8 × 1

v = 20.8 m/s.

c)

Total acceleration = √(a*)² + (a')²

Where a* is the radial component of acceleration = v²/r and a' is the vertical component of acceleration = αr.

Radial component of acceleration = v²/r = 20.8²/1 = 432.64 rad/s²

Vertical component of acceleration = αr = 4 × 1 = 4m/s²

Total acceleration = √(432.64)² + (4)²

Total acceleration = √187,177.3696 + 16

Total acceleration = √187,193.3696

Total acceleration = 432.67 m/s²

d)

θ = ω0t + αt²/2

But ω0 = 0 and θ = angular displacement ( angular position)

θ = 4(5.2)²/2

θ = 54.08 rad.

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

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
