Tangential Acceleration at Constant Angular Velocity
A turntable rotates at a constant rate of 33⅓ revolutions per minute (rpm). A bug, initially positioned 5 cm from the center of rotation, walks radially outward to a new position 10 cm from the center. By what factor does the bug’s tangential acceleration change as it moves from the initial to the final position?
A
2
B
√2
C
4
D
The tangential acceleration remains constant
