Frequency of revoluation of Insect = No of revolaution completed in one second =7100=0.07S−1

(a) Angular Speed = 2πn=2∗227∗0.07=0.44radsec−1

Linear speed =ωr=0.44∗ 0.12 = 0.0528 metersec−1(b)In this case accelearion is not a constant vector as direction of velocity is continious changing. This is centripetal accelearation and its magnitude is = ω2r = 0.0232 radsec−2
