Did you know?
Did you know that in order for a 3.3kg stone to have a centripetal acceleration of 9.8 meters per second square as it is swung in a circle of radius 85cm, it needs to be swung at a certain speed? This required speed, also known as the tangential velocity, can be calculated using the formula v = √(a * r), where v represents the required velocity, a is the centripetal acceleration (in this case, 9.8 m/s²), and r is the radius of the circle (in this case, 0.85m). By plugging in these values, you can determine the specific speed at which the stone should be swung to maintain the desired centripetal acceleration.
