[future_vet]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A wheel of radius 1.0 m is rotating with a constant angular speed of 2.0 rad/s. What is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the wheel’s rim?
A) 1.0 m/s2
B) 4.0 m/s2
C) 0.50 m/s2
D) 2.0 m/s2

2. Relevant equations
Would it be v^2/r?

3. The attempt at a solution
If the equation is correct, it is 4.0 m/s^2

Thanks!
