Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for radial acceleration, which is given by:

a_r = r * α

where:

  • a_r is the radial acceleration,
  • r is the radius of the wheel, and
  • α is the angular acceleration.

Given in the problem, we have:

  • r = 20 cm = 0.2 m (we convert cm to m because the standard unit of acceleration is m/s²),
  • α = 0.5 rad/s².

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

a_r = 0.2 m * 0.5 rad/s² = 0.1 m/s² = 10 cm/s².

So, the radial acceleration of the point on the circumference of the wheel after 2 seconds is 10 cm/s². Therefore, the correct answer is A. 10 cm/sec².
