You are to find the coordinates of a pebble stuck in the tread of a rolling tire that is rotating counterclockwise (i.e., in the positive sense) with angular velocity w. The tire rolls without slipping on the ground (which is at y=0 ). The outer radius of the tire is R. At time t=0 , the pebble is at the top of the tire, as shown.
a)Find the velocity of the axle of the tire relative to a fixed point on the ground, v_pg(t) . Note the order of the subscripts: velocity of axle measured relative to the ground. Express your answer in terms of R, w,t and unit vectors x and/or y
b)Find the position vector of the pebble relative to the initial point of contact between the wheel and ground at a time t, r_pg(t). Express the position vector of the pebble in terms of R,w ,t , and the unit vectors x and/or y of the xy coordinate system shown.
c)Find v_pg(t), the velocity vector of the pebble with respect to a fixed point on the ground, in terms of the unit vectors and of the xy coordinate system shown. Express the velocity vector in terms of R,w ,t , and unit vectors x and/or y.
d)Now find a_pg(t), the acceleration vector of the pebble with respect to a fixed point on the ground. Express your answer in terms of R,w ,t and x and/or y of the xy coordinate system shown.

The OTA's solution is attached. We both got an answer of 208 rad/s^2.
Learning Goal: To understand the meaning of the variables that appear in the equations for rotational kinematics with constant angular acceleration.
Rotational motion with a constant nonzero acceleration is not uncommon in the world around us. For instance, many machines have spinning parts. When the machine is turned on or o

(b) Determine the angular frequency of the
A 62.99 kg woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of 495 kg·m^2 and a radius of 2.00 m. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) a
