Answer:

v = √ar

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION;

The formula for centripetal acceleration, a, is given below, where v is the velocity of the object and r is the object's distance from the center of the circular path. Solve the formula for the velocity. the formula is a= v^2/ r

the given formula is (a= v^2/ r) .....eqn(1)

Where

a=centripetal acceleration

r = object's distance

We were told to find velocity (v)

From eqn(1) we can cross multiply, then we have

a.r=v^2 ...................eqn(2)

Then we can make (v^2) the subject of the formula, we have

(v^2) = ar

We can make "v" subject of the formula, then we have

v = √ a*r
