Question

a stone attached to 1m long string is moving with the speed of 5ms in a circle find the centripetal acceleration of the stone​

Answer 1

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the stone is 5 m/s²

Explanation:

The length of the string to which the stone is attached, r = 1 m

The speed with which the string is rotated, v = 5 m/s

The centripetal acceleration, $a_c$, is given as follows;

$a_c = \dfrac{v^2}{r}$

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the stone found as follows;

$a_c = \dfrac{(5 \ m/s)^2}{1 \ m} = 5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration of the stone, $a_c$ = 5 m/s².
