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

Afham is riding a merry-go-round. He is 5
meters from the center and the merry-
go-round completes three revolutions per
minute. Find the centripetal acceleration
