Answer:
a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz
b) Period = 5.8 sec
c) speed = 7.04 m/s
d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that;
radius = 6.5m
time period = 5.8 sec every circle
a) the frequency
frequency is the number of rotation in unit time
frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8
frequency = 0.1724 Hz
b) the period
period is time taken in one rotation
period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1
Period = 5.8 sec
c) the speed
speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8
speed = 7.04 m/s
d) acceleration
To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.
so
acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5
acceleration = 7.62 m/s²
