Kinematics of Rigid Body Plane Motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the absolute acceleration of Point C on a rotating wheel, given the velocities of Points A and B. Key equations for rigid body motion are referenced, including those for relative velocity and acceleration. Participants clarify the relationship between the speeds and accelerations of Points A, B, and C, emphasizing that while their speeds are equal, their velocities differ in direction. The importance of distinguishing between speed (scalar) and velocity (vector) is highlighted, along with the need to calculate normal and tangential accelerations. The conversation concludes with the user successfully finding the necessary values for the components of acceleration.

What numerical values did you get for the x and y components of ##\vec{a}_t##?

What numerical values did you get for the x and y components of ##\vec{a}_n##?
