4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of the ride = 6m/s

radius of the ride = 9m

Unknown:

Acceleration of ride = ?

Solution:

We are going to solve this problem using the formula for centripetal acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration = $\frac{[tex]V^{2}$ }{ $r^{2}$ }[/tex]

V is the velocity

r is the radius

Centripetal acceleration = $\frac{6^{2} }{9}$ = 4m/s²
