<h3>
Answer:</h3>
The centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
- Mass of rubber stopper = 13 g
- Length of the string(radius) = 0.93 m
- Time for one revolution = 1.18 seconds
We are required to calculate the centripetal acceleration.
To get the centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;
Centripetal acc = V²/r
Where, V is the velocity and r is the radius.
Since time for 1 revolution is 1.18 seconds,
Then, V = 2πr/t, taking π to be 3.142 ( 1 revolution = 2πr)
Therefore;
Velocity = (2 × 3.142 × 0.93 m) ÷ 1.18 sec
= 4.953 m/s
Thus;
Centripetal acceleration = (4.953 m/s)² ÷ 0.93 m
= 26.38 m/s²
Hence, the centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²
