Question

Two objects of equal mass are on a turning wheel. Mass 1 is located at the rim of the wheel while mass 2 is located halfway between the rim and the axis of rotation. The wheel is rotating with a non-zero angular acceleration. For each of the following statements select the correct option to complete the statement. (equal to, less than, or greater than).

1. The magnitude of the total acceleration of mass 1 is       the total acceleration of mass 2.
2. For a given time, mass 1 travels a distance that is       the distance traveled by mass 2.
3.  The tangential acceleration of mass 1 is       the tangential acceleration of mass 2.
4. The angular acceleration of mass 2 is       the angular acceleration of mass 1.
5.  For a given time, the angle covered by mass 2 is       the angle covered by mass 1.
6. The speed of mass 1 is       the speed of mass 2.
7. he centripetal (radial) acceleration of mass 2 is       the centripetal acceleration of mass 1.
