Question
The wheel of a stationary exercise bicycle at your gym makes
one rotation in 0.670 s. Consider two points on this wheel: Point P is
10.0 cm from the rotation axis, and point Q is 20.0 cm from the rotation
axis. Find (a) the speed of each point on the spinning wheel and (b)
the centripetal acceleration of each point. (c) For points on this spinning
wheel, as the distance from the axis increases, does the speed increase or
decrease? Does the centripetal acceleration increase or decrease?
