Two bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk
is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk= 0.60. What is the magnitude
of Buzz's acceleration, in m/s2?
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your
