You can use the formula for centripetal acceleration OR You have to calculate the average acceleration directly from the definition, a = delta v / delta t. You have to first get a_x by using the velocity's initial and final x components, do a_y from the y components, and then use the Pythagorean formula to get the magnitude of the acceleration vector.
A particle has a centripetal acceleration of ac = 7.47 m/s2. It is executing uniform circular motion and the shortest straight-line distance between the particle and the axis is r = 5.95 m.
Part (a) Write an expression for the speed v of the particle.
Part (b) What is the speed of the particle in m/s?
The velocity of a particle is V and is constant. It moves counterclockwise on a circle with center "O" and radius R.
Derivative of acceleration with respect to time; Find as a function of Ɵ, R, V, and the unit vectors (x^ , y^) in the x and y directions.
Hint: a = -V^2/R(cosƟx^+ sinƟy^) and dƟ/dt= V/R
