The centripetal acceleration is 172 m /s^2.

<u />

<u>Explanation:</u>

The acceleration that causes an object to move along a circular path, or turn is known as the centripetal acceleration. Centripetal acceleration points radially inward from the object's position and making a right angle with the object's velocity vector.

The centripetal acceleration is given as

                                Ac = v^2 / r

where Ac represents the centripetal acceleration of an object.

          v represents the linear velocity

           r represents the radius of rotation.

Given t = 0.64 s,    r = 1.8 m.

To find linear velocity, v = (2 * pi * r) / t

                                         = (2 * 3.14 * 1.8) / 0.64

                                     v  = 17.6 m / s.

Centripetal acceleration = v^2 / r

                                           = (17.6 * 17.6) / 1.8

                                           = 172 m / s^2.

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution
givi [52]
With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π 

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
   = (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
   = 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5  revolutions per second.
