    A) 4.05 m/s²

    B) 7.46 revolutions

    C) 37.5 rad/s

    D) 10.125 m/s

    Explanation:

    A) Radius; r = 0.27m

    Angular acceleration; α = 15 rad/s²

    Now, the formula for linear acceleration is given by;

    a = rα

    Where r is radius and α is angular acceleration while a is linear acceleration.

    Thus,

    a = 0.27 x 15

    a = 4.05 m/s²

    B) First, Let's find the final velocity in rev/s using the equation of motion; V = u + αt

    Where α is angular acceleration.

    V = 0 + (15 x 2.5) = 37.5 rad/s

    Now, we are calculating in revolutions, so let's convert the velocity to rev/s

    1 rad/s = 1/2π rev/s

    Thus, 37.5 rad/s = 37.5/2π revs/s = 5.968 rev/s

    Now, average velocity = (v + u) / 2 = (5.968 + 0) / 2 = 5.968/2 = 2.984 revs/s

    Thus, number of revolutions will be = average velocity x t =

    2.984 rev/s x 2.5 s = 7.46 revolutions

    C) we will get the final angular velocity from;

    ω_f = ω_o + αt

    Since it starts from rest, initial angular velocity ω_o = 0

    Thus,

    ω_f = 15 x 2.5 = 37.5 rad/s

    D) The final velocity is given by;

    v_f = ω_f•r = 37.5 x 0.27 = 10.125 m/s

    Answer: a) 4.05 m/s², b) 1.5625 rad, c) 37.5 rad/s, d) 10.125 m/s

    Explanation:

    a = linear acceleration = ?

    Radius of car tires (r) = 0.27m

    Angular acceleration (α) = 15.0 rad/s²

    a)

    The relationship between angular and linear acceleration is given by the formulae below

    a = αr

    a = 15.0 * 0.270

    a = 4.05 m/s²

    b)

    Recall that

    θ = ωot + αt²/2

    Where θ = angular displacement and ωo = initial angular velocity = 0 (since the body starts from rest).

    θ = αt²/2

    θ = 15 * (2.5) ²/2

    θ = 3.125/2 = 1.5625 rad.

    But angular displacement = number of oscillations / time taken

    1.5625 = number of oscillations / 2.5

    Number of oscillations = 1.5625 * 2.5 = 3.91 rad.

    c)

    Recall that

    ω = ωo + αt

    But the body starts it motion from rest, hence ωo = 0

    ω = 15 * 2.50

    ω = 37.5 rad/s.

    d)

    Linear velocity is related to angular velocity via the formulae below

    v = ωr

    v = 37.5 * 0.270

    v = 10.125 m/s
