3.60 A = 3.60 coulombs of charge per second
(3.60 Coul/sec) x (15.3 sec) = 55.08 coulombs of charge
1 coulomb of charge is carried by 6.25 x 10^18 electrons
Number of electrons =
(55.08 Coul) x (6.25 x 10^18 e/coul) = <em>3.4425 x 10^20 electrons</em>
r = radius of the circle traveled by the particle = 76 cm = 0.76 m
T = time period of revolution for the particle = 4.5 s
w = angular velocity of the particle
angular velocity of the particle is given as
w = 2π/T
inserting the values
w = 2 (3.14)/4.5
w = 1.4 rad/s
a = centripetal acceleration of the particle in the circle
centripetal acceleration is given as
a = r w²
inserting the values
a = (0.76) (1.4)²
a = 1.5 m/s²
