A point \(P\) is at a distance \(R\) from the axis of rotation of a rigid body whose angular velocity and angular acceleration are \(\omega\) and \(\alpha\) respectively. The linear speed, centripetal acceleration, and tangential acceleration of the point can be expressed as:
| Linear speed | Centripetal acceleration | Tangential acceleration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| \((a)\) | \(R\omega\) | \(R\omega^{2}\) | \(R\alpha\) |
| \((b)\) | \(R\omega\) | \(R\alpha\) | \(R\omega^{2}\) |
| \((c)\) | \(R\omega^{2}\) | \(R\alpha\) | \(R\omega\) |
| \((d)\) | \(R\omega\) | \(R\omega^{2}\) | \(R\omega\) |
| \((e)\) | \(R\omega^{2}\) | \(R\alpha\) | \(R\omega^{2}\) |
