Question

Obtain an equation of centripetal acceleration for uniform circular motion. Convert this equations in terms of angular velocity (ω).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Strategy. The term rev/min stands for revolutions per minute. By converting this to radians per second, we obtain the angular velocity ω. Because r is given, we can use the second expression in the equation ac=v2r;ac=rω2 a c = v 2 r ; a c = r ω 2 to calculate the centripetal acceleration.
