Question

Suppose you are sitting on a seat that is 5 meters from the central axis of a spinning ride, like the one shown at the start of this lesson. This means you are undergoing circular motion with a radius of 5 meters

(r = 5 m).

Now suppose the ride takes 5 seconds to carry you once around a full circle. That means the period of your motion is 5 seconds

(P = 5 s).

Using the Circular Motion simulator, calculate the speed (in m/s) and centripetal acceleration (m/s²) that result from uniform motion with a period of 3.00 seconds and a radius of 3.00 meters.

(A) v = ________m/s

(B) a= _______m/s²

One way to make sense of acceleration is to compare it to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on (or near) Earth's surface is about 9.8 meters per second, per second.

g ≈ 9.8 m/s/s = 9.8 m/s²

(C)How many "g's" correspond to the acceleration you computed just now?

______g
