A flea sits on the edge of a classic record album that is making 1 revolution in 0.56s. The flea is 0.20m from the center of the record
a. what is the fleas velocity?
b. What is the fleas centripetal acceleration?

Hi there!

We can begin by finding the angular velocity using dimensional analysis:

[tex]\frac{1 rev}{0.56 s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = 11.22 rad/sec[/tex]

(A)

Find the flea's velocity using the following relationship:

v = ωr

v = (11.22)(0.20) = 2.24 m/s

(B)

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

a = ω²r

a = (11.22²)(0.20) = 25.18 m/s²
