A bicyclist starting at rest produces a constant angular acceleration of 1.30 rad/s2 for wheels that are 35.0 cm in radius.   (a) What is the bicycle's linear acceleration (in m/s2)? (Enter the magnitude.)   (b) What is the angular speed of the wheels (in rad/s) when the bicyclist reaches 12.0 m/s?   (c) How many radians have the wheels turned through in that time?   (d) How far (in m) has the bicycle traveled?
