Answer:

[tex]a_1:a_2=1:2[/tex]

Explanation:

Formula for Angular Acceleration:

[tex]\boxed{angular\ acceleration\ (\alpha)=\frac{linear\ acceleration\ (a)}{radius\ (r)} }[/tex]

Given:

radius₁ (r₁) = 2 m

radius₂ (r₂) = 4 m

Since α₁ = α₂, therefore [tex]\frac{a_1}{r_1} =\frac{a_2}{r_2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a_1}{r_1} =\frac{a_2}{r_2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a_1}{2} =\frac{a_2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a_1}{a_2} =\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]a_1:a_2=2:4[/tex]

[tex]\bf a_1:a_2=1:2[/tex]
