A bicycle wheel of radius

0.35\,\text{m}

starts from rest and accelerates uniformly until its angular speed reaches

15\,\text{rad}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. The angular acceleration during this interval is

3.0\,\text{rad}\,\text{s}^{-2}

. (a) Calculate the time required for the wheel to reach the angular speed of

15\,\text{rad}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. (b) Determine the linear distance traveled by a point on the outer edge of the wheel during this acceleration interval.
