Is it really that simple to find angular velocity? i thought for sure that I would have to use some form of energy to find it using I. and as far as linear velocity goes I thought because it was not on the outside of the wheel that it would have a different velocity than a point on the wheel

there is no time given, but what might be helpful to know is that the wheel has a negative acceleration (was not given the amount). also incase it wasn't clear the wheel is rotating vertically unfortunately I have a very difficult physics teacher. I don't need the answer in numbers nor do i...

Homework Statement There is a wheel with spokes rotating on a horizontal axis about its center. the Wheel has a w(omega) of 6∏ and a radius of .04meters there is a bug on one of the spokes at exactly 1/2 radius or .02meters. the bug has a mass of .005kg. Homework Equations not really sure...
