What direction does centripetal acceleration point?

Physics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]2 years ago

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)

AleksAgata [21]
The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out. 
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766 
Adjacent/Hypotenuse 
x/120 = cos40 
Answer: 91.92533. 
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.
