g a horizontal wheel of radius is rotating about a vertical axis. What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of a bug that is hanging tightl on the rim of the wheel

Sagot :

Answer:

   a = w² r

Explanation:

In this exercise, indicate that the wheel has angular velocity w, the worm experiences the same angular velocity if it does not move, and has an acceleration towards the center of the circle, according to Newton's second law, called the centripetal acceleration.

           a = v² / r

angular and linear variables are related

           v = w r

we substitute

          a = w² r

where r is the radius of the wheel
