A wheel is turning about its fixed axis at constant speed. Compare the tangential and angular accelerations of a point on a wheel.
This was a multiple choice question on my exam, which I got wrong... (annoying 8% loss)
I thought only the angular acceleration would be zero since the speed is constant, but I guess snot.
a) Both are zero
b) Neither is zero
c) Only the angular acceleration is zero
d) Only the tangential acceleration is zero
I assume that both are zero, but I'm not sure.
