• Given:
,• Mass = 2113 kg
,• Radius, r = 49 m
,• Speed, v = 12 m/s
Let's find the centripetal acceleration.
To find the centripetal acceleration, apply the formula:
[tex]a=\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]Where:
a is the centripetal acceleration
v is the speed
r is the radius
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{12^2}{49} \\ \\ a=\frac{144}{49} \\ \\ a=2.94\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is 2.94 m/s²
• ANSWER:
2.94 m/s²
