<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

b. \frac{2.11m}{s^{2}}

<h2>Why?</h2>

The centripetal acceleration or radial acceleration is present when an object is moving to describe a circular path. The centripetal acceleration is always perpendicular to the direction of the velocity and going inwards and towards the center.

The centripetal acceleration can be calculated using the following equation:

CentripetalAcceleration=\frac{v^{2}}{RadiusOfMotion}

From the statement we know that:

v=TangentialSpeed=\frac{2.6m}{s} \\R=3.2m

So, calculating we have:

CentripetalAcceleration=\frac{{2.6^{2} \frac{m}{s} }}{3.2m}=\frac{{6.76\frac{m}{s} }}{3.2m}=\frac{2.11m}{s^{2} }

So, the correct answer is:

b. \frac{2.11m}{s^{2}}

Have a nice day!

Answer:

Since variations in air pressure drive the winds on Earth, isobars also give meteorologists an easy way to assess wind direction and speed. Closely spaced isobars indicate large pressure changes over a small area, causing wind speeds to increase.

Hope this helped! :}
