Question

A 5 kg mass is spun around in a circle of radius 2m with a period of 7 s.

What equation would you use to calculate the centripetal acceleration?

Calculate the centripetal acceleration.

Possible Formulas that can be used to answer the question:

v=(2πr)/T

ac=v2/r

ac=(4π2r)/T2

Fc=mac

Fg=mg

F=(Gm1m2)/d2

g=Gm/r2

T2=(4π2/Gm)r3

v=√(Gm)/r

g=9.80m/s2

G=6.67x10-11 (N∙m2)/kg2
