Question

A amusement park moves riders in a circle at a rate of 6.0m/s if the radius is 9.0 meters what is the acceleration of the ride

Answer 1

Centripetal acceleration is (speed-squared) / (radius)

CA = (6 m/s)² / (9 m)

CA = (36 m²/s²) / (9 m)

CA = (36/9) (m²/m·s²)

Centripetal acceleration = 4 m/s²
