Question

An object of mass 10 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 10 m at a velocity of 10 m/s. What is the acceleration of this obiect?

Answer 1

The acceleration of the object can be calculated using the formula:

a = v^2 / r

where v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the circular orbit.

Substituting the given values, we get:

a = (10 m/s)^2 / 10 m

a = 100 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 100 m/s^2.
