### Problem Statement:

1. A 75.0 cm diameter high-speed flywheel in an electric motor is rotating when a power failure suddenly occurs. As a result, a point on the rim of the flywheel slows down such that its tangential velocity is given by:

   \[ v_t = 19.5 - 0.263t \]

   where \( t \) is in seconds and \( v_t \) is in meters per second.

   (a) What is the initial angular velocity and total acceleration vector magnitude?

### Diagram:

- The image contains a diagram of a flywheel with a center indicated by a point and two perpendicular arrows emanating from it, representing rotational motion and axes. 

- The flywheel is depicted as having concentric circles, denoting different parts or sections of the wheel. 

### Solution Approach:

1. **Initial Angular Velocity (\(\omega_0\))**:
   - The tangential velocity \( v_t \) is related to the angular velocity by the equation \( v_t = r \cdot \omega \), where \( r \) is the radius of the flywheel.
   - Given the diameter is 75.0 cm, the radius \( r \) is 0.375 m.
   - Using \( v_t = 19.5 \) m/s (the initial velocity when \( t = 0 \)), solve for the initial angular velocity:
     \[
     \omega_0 = \frac{v_t}{r} = \frac{19.5}{0.375}
     \]

2. **Total Acceleration**:
   - Total acceleration consists of tangential acceleration (\( a_t \)) and radial (centripetal) acceleration (\( a_r \)).
   - Tangential acceleration (\( a_t \)) is given by the derivative of the velocity function \( v_t(t) \). Thus,
     \[
     a_t = \frac{d}{dt}(19.5 - 0.263t) = -0.263 \, \text{m/s}^2
     \]
   - Radial acceleration (\( a_r \)) is given by \( a_r = \omega^2 \cdot r \). Use the initial angular velocity \( \omega_0 \) for initial radial acceleration:
     \[
     a_r = \omega_0^2 \cdot r
     \]
