Answer

The slope of the plot of $a$ versus the radial distance $r$ is $~~43,900$

Work Step by Step

We can express the angular speed in units of $rad/s$: $\omega = (2000~rev/min)(\frac{2\pi~rad}{1~rev})(\frac{1~min}{60~s}) = 209.44~rad/s$ We can find the slope of the plot of $a$ versus the radial distance $r$: $a = \omega^2~r$ $\frac{a}{r} = \omega^2$ $\frac{a}{r} = (209.44)^2$ $\frac{a}{r} = 43,900$ The slope of the plot of $a$ versus the radial distance $r$ is $~~43,900$
