When angular velocity ω is constant, this is uniform circular motion.
In this case, as the particle goes around a circle one time, its angular displacement is ∆θ = 2π during one period ∆t = T.

What is the total acceleration acting on a person in Santa Rosa?

The vector sum.
Is your apparent weight as measured on a spring scale more at the Equator or at Santa Rosa?
cag
Since you are standing on the Earth (and not in the can) the centrifugal force tends
to throw you off the Earth. You weigh less where the centripetal force is greatest because
that is also where the centrifugal force is greatest – the force that tends to throw you
out of a rotating reference frame.
Centrifugal Force & Acceleration “Center FLEEing”
Factual = Centripetal Force Ffictitious = Centrifugal Force
Centrifugal Force & Acceleration
Suppose there is a lady bug in the can. There is a centripetal force acting on the bug, transmitted to her feet by the can. Her feet push back on the can producing a centrifugal “fictitious” force, that acts
like artificial gravity.
“Center FLEEing”
Centripetal & Centrifugal Force Depends on Your Reference Frame
Inside Observer (rotating reference frame) feels Centrifugal Force pushing them against the can.
Outside Observer (non-rotating frame) sees Centripetal Force pulling can in a circle.
Center-seeking
Center-fleeing
Centrifugal Force is Fictitious? The centrifugal force is a real effect. Objects in a rotating frame feel a centrifugal force acting on them, trying to push them out. This is due to your inertia – the fact that your mass does not want to go in a circle. The centrifugal force is called ‘fictitious’ because it isn’t due to any real force – it is only due to the fact that you are rotating. The centripetal force is ‘real’ because it is due to something acting on you like a string or a car.
In Physics, we use ONLY
CentriPETAL acceleration NOT
CentriFUGAL acceleration!

“Coriolis Force”
• This is an apparent force caused by changing the radial position of an object in a rotating coordinate system
• The result of the rotation is the curved path of the ball
