To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow The angular speed

\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow The angular acceleration

r = 4.65 m \rightarrow The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

v = r\omega

Where,

r = Radius

\omega = Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}

a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}

a_c = r \omega^2

a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2

a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

a_t = \alpha r

Here,

\alpha = Angular acceleration

r = Radius

\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)

\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}

|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}

|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Brums [2.3K]

f = ma

Rearranging it, we get;

a =  \frac{f}{m}
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

a =  \frac{325}{250}
a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

The message refers to which of the following?
Oliga [24]

The message is the information being communicated from one place to another.

It used to be called the "intelligence".  But as time went on, it became
harder to ignore the obvious fact that that was going too far, and the
label was changed to the more IQ-neutral "message".
