A wheel with a radius of 20 cm rotates at a speed of 0.2 m / s. Determine the centripetal acceleration.

Task data: R (wheel radius) = 20 cm (in SI system R = 0.2 m); V (linear speed of the wheel in question) = 0.2 m / s2.

To determine the centripetal acceleration of the wheel in question, we use the formula: an = V ^ 2 / R.

Let’s perform the calculation: an = 0.2 ^ 2 / 0.2 = 0.2 m / s2.

Answer: The wheel in question has a centripetal acceleration of 0.2 m / s2.
