Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 3.13 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire at a distance of 0.369 m from the rotation axis. Noting that for every rotation the tack travels one circumference, find the tack's tangential speed. tangential speed: What is the tack's centripetal acceleration? m/s

A runner taking part in the 200-m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of 30.0 m. The runner starts the race at a constant speed. If she completes the 200-m dash in 23.2s and rum at constant speed throughout the race, what is her centripetal acceleration as she runs the curved portion of the track?
Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
