Question

(a) Calculate the linear acceleration of a car, the 0.220-m radius tires of which have an angular acceleration of 11.0 rad/s2. Assume no slippage.

Answer 1

The value is
`a_t = 2.42 \ m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the tires is
`r = 0.22 \ m`

The angular acceleration is
`\alpha = 11.0 \ rad/s^2`

Generally the linear acceleration is mathematically represented as

`a_t = r * \alpha`

=>
`a_t = 0.22 * 11`

=>
`a_t = 2.42 \ m/s^2`
