Question

A point on a wheel rotating at 5.00 rev/s located at 0.2 from the axis then what would be centripetal acceleration (a) 0.05m/s2 (b) 1.35m/s2 (c) 98m/s2 60. In case of planets centripetal force is provided by (d) 198m/s2​

Answer 1

Answer:

When an object is rotating along some axis, there should be a force that facilitates the rotation. This is the centripetal force. This centripetal force that is directed toward the axis of rotation (center of circle) ensures that the object's circular motion is maintained. If we somehow removed the centripetal force, mathematically there is no force that allows circular motion and the object will just move in a line.
