A piece of stone attached to the iron of spring is involved round in a horizontal circle of radius 7m.when the constant speed. When the stone is 40m/s-1. Calculate the centripeta l acceleration
To calculate the centripetal acceleration, we can use the formula:
a = v^2 / r
Where:
a is the centripetal acceleration
v is the velocity of the stone
r is the radius of the circle
Given:
v = 40 m/s
r = 7 m
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
a = (40^2) / 7
a = 1600 / 7
a ≈ 228.57 m/s^2
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is approximately 228.57 m/s^2.
