What is acceleration of a point rotating at constant angular velocity?
How to construct an acceleration vector?
The vector of acceleration is directed to the center of rotation, and is called therefore centripetal acceleration .
Acceleration a of a point rotating on a circle at constant distance R from its center, depends on its angular velocity W and the radius R :
               a =WR ,
or substituting the expression for W
                W=V/R  ,
we obtain a in terms of V and R :
                 a=V/R.
Initial Values of Parameters
Radius of circle (r) 3 m
Angular velocity (w) 1.0 rad/sec
