A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 6.6 m/s, decelerates to a speed of 2.1 m/s in 5.0 s. Each wheel has a radius of 0.65 m and is rotating in a counterclockwise (positive) direction. What are (a) the constant angular acceleration (in rad/s2) and (b) the angular displacement (in rad) of each wheel?

Question

A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 6.6 m/s,
decelerates to a speed of 2.1 m/s in 5.0 s. Each wheel has a radius of 0.65 m
and is rotating in a counterclockwise (positive) direction. What are (a) the
constant angular acceleration (in rad/s2) and (b) the angular displacement (in
rad) of each wheel?
