Answer:
48,2 m/s²
Explanation:
We're gonna use the Centripetal Acceleration formula: v² / r but before that, we got to know the velocity, that is not shown clearly to us, so....
To know the velocity let's calculate the distance that the ball traveled
The circumference of a circle formula is:
2piR
2 . 3,14 . 7,1 | That is equal to 44,588 m
We know that the ball traveled this distance 3,9 times, so...
44,588 . 3,9 = 173,8932 m
Ok, now we have the distance, just need to know the time, that is 9.4 seconds.
Velocity = Distance / Time
V = 173,8932 / 9,4
V = 18,5 (approximate)
So...
We are back to the first formula:
Ca = v² / r
Ca = 18,5² / 7.1
Ca = 48,2 m/s² (approximate)
I hope it is correct, hahaha.
