A particle is moving uniformly in a circle with radius 50 cm.The linear speed of the particle is 60 cm/s.The acceleration of the particle has a magnitude of A)zero B)36 m/s² C)1.8 $\times$ 10⁵ cm/s² D)72 cm/s² E)3.6 m/s²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The centripetal acceleration for a particle moving in a circle is given by the formula a = v^2/r. Substituting v = 60 cm/s and r = 50 cm, we get a = (60^2)/50 = 72 cm/s².
