A point P is at a distance R from the axis of rotation of a rigid body. The linear speed, centripetal acceleration, and tangential acceleration of the point can be expressed as

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The linear speed of a point at a distance R from the axis of rotation is given by v = Rω. The centripetal acceleration is given by ac = Rω². The tangential acceleration is given by at = Rα.
