Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

1) A child is on a merry-go-round which is rotating in uniform circular
motion. The radius of the ride is 1.2 mn and the period is 5 seconds.
a. What is the frequency?
b. What is the child's centripetal acceleration?
