A carousel has a diameter of 6.0-m and completes one rotation every 1.7s. Find the centripetal acceleration of the traveler in m / s2.

The centripetal acceleration of the traveler is

Explanation:

It is given that, A carousel has a diameter of 6.0-m and completes one rotation every 1.7 s.

We need to find the centripetal acceleration of the traveler. It is given by the formula as follows :

r is radius of carousel

So,

Plugging all the values we get :

So, the centripetal acceleration of the traveler is .
