Question

If an object moves in uniform circular motion in a circle of radius R = 2.00 meters, and the object takes 5.00 seconds to complete ten revolutions, calculate the centripetal acceleration. ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. a= _____ m/s2 39.4 m/s 2 100. m/s 2 158 m/s 2 50.2 m/s 2

Answer 1

The centripetal acceleration of the object is .
Explanation:
We have,
Radius of a circular path is 2 m
It takes 5 seconds to complete 10 revolutions. It means its angular velocity is :

The centripetal acceleration of the object is given by :

So, the centripetal acceleration of the object is .
