Find the angular velocity of a body rotating with an acceleration
Anand J.
An object rotates about a fixed axis, and the angular position of a reference line on the object is given by 0=1.5e25t where e is in radians and t is in seconds. Consider a point on the object that is 1.69 m from the axis of rotation. At t-1.4s, find the magnitude of the point's tangential component of acceleration? Round your answer to one decimal place.
Pritesh R.
In circular motion, a tangential acceleration can change the magnitude of the velocity but not its direction. Explain your answer.
