A bicycle wheel of radius

0.35\,\text{m}

increases its linear speed from

2.0\,\text{m/s}

5.0\,\text{m/s}

3.0\,\text{s}

while rolling without slipping. What is the magnitude of the wheel’s angular acceleration during this interval? (a)

8.6\,\text{rad/s}^{2}

(b)

1.0\,\text{rad/s}^{2}

(c)

2.9\,\text{rad/s}^{2}

(d)

1.4\,\text{rad/s}^{2}
