A wind turbine is rotating counterclockwise at 0.78 rev/s and slows to a stop in 17 s. Its blades are 25 m in length. (a) What is the angular acceleration of the turbine (in rad/s2)? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) _________rad/s2 (b) What is the centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) of the tip of the blades at t = 0? (Enter the magnitude. Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) _________m/s2 (c) What is the magnitude (in m/s2) of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades at t = 0? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.)
