Answer:
3.08m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Radius = 20m
Tangential velocity = 7.85m/s
Unknown:
Centripetal acceleration = ?
Solution:
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of a body along a circular path.
it is mathematically given as;
a = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{r}[/tex]
v is the tangential velocity
r is the radius
a = [tex]\frac{7.85^{2} }{20}[/tex] = 3.08m/s²
