These questions are intended to get you to read the assignment and understand the two kinds of acceleration of rotating objects.
As long as it is rotating, a point that is not the center has some radial (centripetal) acceleration.
We will be glad to critique your thoughts.
Suppose a record turntable rotates at constant angular velocity.
a) Does a point on the rim have radial and/or tangential acceleration?
b) If the turntable's angular velocity increases uniformly, does the point have radial and/or tangential acceleration?
c) For which cases would the magnitude of either of the components of linear acceleration change?
