Answer:
10.21m/s²
Explanation:
Radial acceleration, also known as centripetal acceleration, refers to the acceleration of an object along the circular radius. It can be calculated using the formula:
a(r) = v²/r
Where a(r) = radial acceleration
v = velocity
r = radius of the circular path
According to the information provided in the question, velocity (v) = 17.5m/s, radius = 30m. Hence;
a(r) = v²/r
a(r) = 17.5²/30
a(r) = 10.208333
a(r) = 10.21m/s²
