2. A dog sits 1.5 m from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round is set in motion, and the dog's tangential speed is 1.5 m/s. What is the dog's centripetal
acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.5 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex] directed towards the center of the circle.

Explanation:

Formula for Centripetal Acceleration

[tex]a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}[/tex]

where v= represents the velocity of the object exhibiting circular motion and r represents the radius in which the body is doing a circular motion.

Given Parameters

v=1.5 m/s

r=1.5 m

Plugging in the values ,

[tex]a_{c} =\frac{1.5^{2} }{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]a_{c}[/tex]= 1.5 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex] directed towards to the center of the circle.
