Consider the image below of a hammer throw. At the point of release of the hammer, an athlete has  an angular velocity of 2.70 rad/sec. If we assume that the length of the athlete’s arms plus the  hammer is 1.5 m, and that the angular acceleration of the athlete and hammer at this instant is 0.65 rad/sec2, what is the a) tangential velocity, the b) tangential acceleration, and the c) centripetal  acceleration of the hammer mass?

Consider the image below of a hammer throw. At the point of release of the hammer, an athlete has 
an angular velocity of 2.70 rad/sec. If we assume that the length of the athlete’s arms plus the 
hammer is 1.5 m, and that the angular acceleration of the athlete and hammer at this instant is 0.65
rad/sec2, what is the a) tangential velocity, the b) tangential acceleration, and the c) centripetal 
acceleration of the hammer mass?
