Topic : Centripedal Acceleration

OpenStudy (eric_d):

A body moves at a constant speed around a circle of radius 2.0 m in 0.50 s . What is its acceleration ?

OpenStudy (eric_d):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u mean what is its centripedal accn ?

OpenStudy (eric_d):

Nope

OpenStudy (eric_d):

What is its acceleration ?

OpenStudy (eric_d):

sorry 4 d confusion..

OpenStudy (abhisar):

one is linear accn and other is centripedal accn

OpenStudy (eric_d):

ok..

OpenStudy (abhisar):

if not specified then we should calculate the net accn

OpenStudy (eric_d):

Hw to calculate the linear accn

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ok...m back.....!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Just to confirm..what's the answer ?

OpenStudy (eric_d):

32 pi^2 rad s^-2

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\huge \sf \omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}~and~a_c=\omega^2R\)

OpenStudy (eric_d):

centri accn = 25.13 ms^-2

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No !

OpenStudy (eric_d):

315.83 ms^-2

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Abhisar \(\sf \huge a_c=[\frac{2\pi}{0.5}]^2\times 2\) \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

This answer will be in rad s^-2

OpenStudy (eric_d):

So, it shld be 315.83 rad s^-2
