Concept explainers

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

A child sitting 1.10 m from the centre of a merry-go-round. He moves with
1.60 m/s Calculate the centripetal acceleration (in the unit m/s2) of the
child.
