16. Olympic ice skaters are able to spin at about 5 rev/s.
(a) What is their angular velocity in radians per second?
(b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the skater's nose it
it is 0.120 m from the axis of rotation?​

Answer:

a)   w = 31.4 rad / s,  b)  a = 118.4 m / s²

Explanation:

a) let's reduce to the SI system

   w = 5 rev / s (2pi rad / 1 rev)

   w = 31.4 rad / s

b) the expression for the centripetal acceleration is

      a = v² / r

linear and angular variables are related

      v = w r

    we substitute

     a = w² r

     a = 31.4² 0.120

     a = 118.4 m / s²
