Answer:
Radius of the salami = 9.9 cm
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the radius is given below:
a = v^2/r
where a represents acceleration
v represents velocity
r represents radius
As hungry mouse ran around the salami's circumference with a tangential speed of 0.17 m/s so that means velocity = 0.17 m/s.
The centripetal acceleration of the mouse = 0.29 m/s^2
putting these values in the above formula, we get
0.29 = 0.17^2 / r
After rearranging, we get,
r = 0.17^2 / 0.29
r = 0.099 m
r = 9.9 cm
so the radius of the salami = 9.9 cm
