    Below is the solution:

    Let us say that the disk goes through a vertical elevation change of one meter.

    The change in potential energy will equal the change in kinetic energy

    PE = KEt + KEr

    mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

    for a uniform disk, the moment of inertia is

    I = ½mr²

    and

    ω = v/r

    mgh = ½mv² + ½ (½mr²) (v/r) ²

    mgh = ½mv² + ¼mv²

    gh = ¾v²

    v² = 4gh/3

    v² = u² + 2as

    if we assume initial velocity is zero

    v² = 2as

    a = v² / 2s

    s (sinθ) = h

    s = h/sinθ

    a = 4gh/3 / 2 (h/sinθ)

    a = ⅔gsinθ

    a = ⅔ (9.8) sin25

    a = 2.8 m/s²
