Question

A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated about the particle?

mass

centripetal force

centripetal acceleration

density

Answer 1

Centripetal acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

• The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.

• Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.

• That is;

ac = v²/r

Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the radius, m
