<span>When an object travels in a curved path, there must be a force acting toward the center of the circular trajectory. This force is called "centripetal force", and it cause an acceleration of the object, called "centripetal acceleration". The effect of this acceleration is that the velocity of the object changes in direction: however if the circular motion is uniform, the speed (=the magnitude of the velocity) does not change. In this case, the magnitude of the centripetal force is given by

where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity, and r the radius of the circular path.</span>
Answer:
a. 2 Hz b. 0.5 cycles c . 0 V
Explanation:
a. What is period of armature?
Since it takes the armature 30 seconds to complete 60 cycles, and frequency f = number of cycles/ time = 60 cycles/ 30 s = 2 cycles/ s = 2 Hz
b. How many cycles are completed in T/2 sec?
The period, T = 1/f = 1/2 Hz = 0.5 s.
So, it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycles. At t = T/2 = 0.5/2 = 0.25 s,
Since it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycle, then the number of cycles it completes in 0.25 s is 0.25/0.5 = 0.5 cycles.
c. What is the maximum emf produced when the armature completes 180° rotation?
Since the emf E = E₀sinθ and when θ = 180°, sinθ = sin180° = 0
E = E₀ × 0 = 0
E = 0
So, at 180° rotation, the maximum emf produced is 0 V.
Answer:
The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.
Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.
The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity
and at a distance of
from the axis of rotation is given as:

Here, 
∴ 
Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.
