Answer:
The centripetal acceleration of the edge of the top
Explanation:
Given:
Speed with which the top rotates = 0.63 m/s
Radius of the top = 0.10 m
To Find:
Centripetal acceleration of the edge of the top =?
Solution:
The centripetal acceleration is the rate at which the tangential velocity changes. Also its direction is always inwards along the radius vector of the circular motion.
We know that centripetal acceleration is
Where
v = velocity
r = radius
Substituting the values
