Answer:

v = 3.74 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The acceleration of the object in circular path, a = 0.4 m/s²

The radius of the circle, r = 35 m

We need to find the velocity of the object. The acceleration of an object on the circular path is given by :


a=(v^2)/(r)\\\\v=√(ar) \\\\v=√(0.4*35)\\\\v=3.74\ m/s

So, the velocity of the object is equal to 3.74 m/s.
